Looking Good

First of all, we want to thank you all for the cards, phone calls, emails, text messages, gifts, e-cards, Facebook comments, inboxes and blog postings. We are overwhelmed with the love of God's people!

Hadassah is looking great! She is still a very sick girl but you would never know that to look at her. She was even allowed to go for a walk today - something she has been longing to do. Her breathing has become easier and has slowed slightly. The cardiologist also said her echo-cardiogram is slightly improved. This is all good news and moving in the right direction. Tomorrow, they plan to begin oral heart medications to gradually replace the heart medications that she receives by IV. This is being done so that when she is stable with those, she will able to go home and continue as an outpatient. Her future is yet unknown.

We know that all these things are in the Hand of our good God and that He is the greatest Healer of all time - the One who created our amazing bodies. I am in awe when talking with the cardiologist as to how God has designed our hearts to compensate for its weaknesses. So, we will not fear, for He is with us; we will not be dismayed, for He is our God; He will strengthen us, He will help us, He will uphold us with His righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)

    Hi Paul, Carol, and Hadassah, You and the whole family are in our prayers. So glad Hadassah's doing better, and that things seem to be heading in the right direction. We wish you calm hearts and a peaceful confidence as you commit the coming days and weeks to the Lord. A special "hi" to Hadassah from Lauren! Just a few weeks ago they were having fun hanging out together.
    Love, Jerry and Michelle
