Mila's surgery went well and she is in the PICU. There was more damage / scar tissue then was anticipated but she seems to be OK. Her recovery may take several years in terms of recovering all of her heart function. Thank you all for the prayers. Sarah
Update on Mandy:
Mandy still has the trach for oxygen only, she has not had any new bleeding, not swollen from malnutrition anymore, she still has a feeding tube but is doing a "liquid diet" and so far so good. Yesterday she sat up in the recliner for the first time in a long time though she is not able to walk around yet. She was even able to visit with her oldest son whom she hadn't seen since Christmas.
Colton's is having a fundraiser on Monday in Harrison. The proceeds from the food purchased go to the local PTA but the money collected in the tip jars will be donated to Mandy's family. Please attend if at all possible. There is also going to be a fundraiser for the family at Grubs Springs Baptist on March 1st. I am not 100% on the times so I will get back to you on that. If any of you have more info then that let me know.
The PAGER babies:
This is a list of some of the babies whose parents I have met working through PAGER. These kids are dealing with various issues related to GERD, food allergies, enzyme deficiencies and other GI issues. Some are having problems eating or gaining weight while others are frequently sick and in lots of pain. Needless to say, all of these kids needs our prayers as do their parents. Especially remember these mommies, who take on the brunt of the load, when dealing with a chronically ill child. The names of the moms who specifically asked for prayers are also in parenthesis. Here are the sweetie pies:
Aubrey
Cole
Connor
Ella
Emily
Halley
Isabella
Jessica
Kennedy (Christy)
Maggie
Mila (mentioned above)
Nate
Sebi (Deanne)
Nolan
Quinn
Check out my blog if you want to see a digital scrapbook page I did about Ella. The background has a list of all of the different symptoms that these kids can have to deal with. It is very humbling. http://www.rackleyfive.blogspot.com/
Thank you all for being such praying people. I love you!
