More Happenings

After starting off really good today, we had a bit of a letdown this evening. Shortly after physical therapy, which Stephanie excelled at, she started having stomach issues. Now that the pnuemonia has been taken care of, the staples are out, and the trach is out, nutrition is really the only thing holding us in the hospital.They don't want to send her home if she's going to end up malourished. This is a concern because she so far cannot handle her feedings at a very high rate, currently she would go through about 1200 Calories in a day, which is nowhere near enough. So we might be here another day while the stomach docs check her out. We met the guy this evening, but he was just interested in meeting us tonight and getting a little bit of a history from Stephanie. We will know more tomorrow.

Your Sager Creek family and friends are keeping you in our prayers.
Our choir prayed for you tonight during practice.
We continue to update our Prayer Partners.
You are being lifted up to the Father.
You are in HIS wonderful care!!!

Good Morning,
I commented yesterday, but something happened and the computer ate it! All I can think is"WOW" in two days to have so many prayers answered and so much happen that calories are Steph's biggest concern! We love you and so do a lot of people who are praying for you who just know your name. We are praying for you to keep up the fight ( amd that makes it a good thing that our strength is from the Lord!)
Love,
YFA Joan

i am constantly amazed by what God does for us...and i know in my heart that there is a reason for all of this
