A Special Gift

Edited: Sorry, I had to come back and edit this post. I typed it out so fast that I had some misspelled words, things left out, and didn’t word things the way I really wanted to.  

Sorry for not posting anything yesterday. Logan’s soccer has started back up and he has practice five days a week, so we are extra busy now. Sarah is doing well in rehab, but vomited again today, so they took her down for a CT scan. She has some pressure due to some leftover blood. I spoke to one of the doctors in my department and he told me that as long as it is not continuously bleeding that her body will get rid of the blood in time, but it will take a while. We have not heard from the surgeon as to what his plan is for this.

She is working hard and getting some results. She will have to leave her stitches in for three weeks this time due to how many times they have went in the same site. The surgeon is amazed on how good of a healer that Sarah is. I credit The Great Physician for her healing.

Sarah received a special gift from a friend of her Aunt Cheryl. There has been a wild horse adopted in her name. Sarah now has her own horse. It will not live with us and we may never see it in real life but it is her’s just the same. She got a picture and a certificate of adoption. The horse’s name is “Something Special”. She was very excited about this gift. She has been showing all her doctors and therapists. One of her nurses is from the area where the horse lives. Kim wants to plan a future vacation to go and see it.

Also, I ask everyone to keep Nicholas Rook in your prayers. He is from our community and has a liver disease. He and his family is going to need plenty of prayer and support through this. His mom says that it can be treated with medicine, so let’s hope that the doctor’s down here at CCHMC can fix the problem permanently and with no lasting deficits.
