~How TWO trips became...who knows? ~ It's a TRIP! and an upgrade.... 4/22

A team is a great idea! Our church has been a great support for me. When we first moved to the city and I didn't know a lot of people yet, they formed a list of moms willing to help me with childcare whenever Deyki needed to be admitted. I had two point people to call and they would help arrange care for my girls. It didn't take long to get to know people well enough that a more "natural" team formed. It's been great! Every time I have needed someone, they have been there. Even Christmas morning when we raced to the ER, there were families willing to come get the other three children. There have been plenty of offers to make meal - but with Deyki's allergies that's too hard.

Anyway, enough about Deyki - I am so glad that Rachel is improving! I'm glad that a team will be rallied around her and her mom. I'll be part of the team that prays for them!
 
Go hug your kids. Go make up with your spouse. Call your parents. Write a letter (snail mail - it's a lost art) to your best friend.

So true, hon. Beautiful words.

Saturday Update #1 - ICU

We are BETTER!!!!!!!

Thank GOD!!!!!

I am so glad to read in your further updates that Rachel is doing better. The power of prayer and faith is truly astonishing. I know it never fails to amaze me, no matter how many times I may see it in action. :grouphug:
 
Well it sounds like some singing is happening!! This is the day, this is the day.... that the Lord has made... Let us rejoice... and be glad in it!!

Thank God for His love and Spirit - we Praise Him today, and thank Him for hearing our prayers - we ask God for His continued guidance as more decisions are being made, and more questions are being asked - Please Lord give your peace and guidance - may the doctors have the wisdom and discernment as we go forward each moment, each day as we rally around Rachel!! Thank you for hearing our prayers - may your will be done in all things!! Please Lord continue to send the support and love and peace to Joyce as she travels this road you have sent her on, may she forever know she is not alone - you hear her prayers and you are sending her the people she has asked You for!!
 
More wonderful news this morning!:cool1: Count me in on the prayer friends. Is Rachel well enough for cards now? Can we send some?
 

Sunday Update #1 - ICU

She seems really agitated this morning. More than yesterday. Which is discouraging, but she is able to answer questions when we ask them.

I gotta go...she is actually calling for me. But I will update more later......
 
I'm sorry she's a bit agitated today, but am so happy to hear tht there has been improvements! That's wonderful.
 
Sunday Update #??

Do you count the last one? I don't know?

I feel like we are on a roller coaster. She was so much better yesterday, but then today she has regressed some, but then got better (was calling for me and they let me go back there!), but now she is back to where she was.

anyway...

Please, please don't quit praying for them! We had a BUNCH of people up here on Friday/Saturday, but not many today, as most of the family that came running had to go back home for work.

This is going to be a very long road.
 
Rachel's family and you have not left my prayers! There is a song I am not sure if you have heard of it before it is by the Dove Brothers it is called "I Can Pray". I love that song and listen to it all of the time. It is a song that is saying when you can do nothing else you can pray! :hug:
 
Maroo:

I am so glad that Rachel is better than she was. It seems that the words ICU and rollercoasters always go hand in hand. Hopefully Rachel will be back in Fantasyland on ...let's say Peter Pan:tinker: , and off of the E ticket ride, Expedition Everest , soon!
 
Maroo - just so you know -

I'm still praying!! : )
 
I hope things are still looking up. :hug:

P.S.

I have been listening to this song a lot lately and wasn't sure if you had heard it before. The name of the song is "I Can Pray" by the Dove Brothers. It is such a moving song to me.
 
Sunday Update - ICU

I have not really known what to write today. One minute she is doing GREAT and another she is scaring us a little again.

They did a Chest CT today, but we don't have the results yet. Hopefully we will know something before I go to work tomorrow.

She is improving overall and has had a decent day, but is still struggling.

Please continue to pray for Rachel and her Mom.

Thank you all for praying!!!!


** On another note! The schedule for Magic Meets is now printed and it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun!!

Yes, most definitly we will continue to pray. Ups and downs are to be expected, but we will continue to pray. :hug:
 
Good Morning Maroo! (and Maroo fans!)

sitting here in the morning light, readying the prayer chain - and check in - May the peace of the Lord be strong in you today! Continued prayers for Rachel and Joyce!

I love when songs are posted - they are uplifting, and prayerful!!
 
Monday Update #1 - ICU

Good morning everyone!

So far so good this morning!

Ra is still in ICU, but was talking up a storm today about the iPhone she was supposed to get yesterday (she has been waiting for August 2nd for months so she can get her iPhone with her phone upgrade).

There are concerns about her lungs and her heart this morning, so not sure if they will move her to a regular room this morning or not.

We are waiting on the CT results and they may do some heart studies today.

We still don't really know what caused this, which is frustrating. But we are certainly thankful she is better this morning!!
 
Glad to hear things are looking up.

Will keep praying! :goodvibes
