Updates, January 4th!

Update on the Gebhardts from Nicole (The family with the premie baby...see the Dec 10th list): Tuesday they found out that Reese had a bad intestinal infection (NEC) They transferred her to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and were doing X-rays on her every six hrs. Today they ended up doing surgery and taking out two parts of her bowels and she will be on a ventilator for a few days and they also put in a colostomy bag for the next few months, but all in all everything went really well,she will have an ultrasound of her brain soon as a precaution, please continue to keep Reese, Jenni and Josh in your prayers.

I also talked with Mandy's SIL yesterday and she said Mandy has had a few good days where she is able to keep food down but then yesterday she was back to throwing up again. It has been months since Mandy has been able to keep any food down consistantly so her stomach must be in protest. Please pray the medicines they are giving her will work and she will be feeling much better soon!

Please also continue to remember Ethan Powell. He has undergone a second transplant and they are currently waiting for the cells to engraft. They are giving him medicine to prevent graft vs. host disease and are continuing to pray for no infection or seizures. This little guy has been through a lot, please pray that God will heal him!
