Another turn in Rachel's health has happened and now she sleeps more then anything. She is taking less medication because she is not able to stay awake long enough to take the medication or it causes her to throw up. Last night she threw up a number of times during the night and today she was very weak. She has lost so much weight.
Sometimes we get a smile, sometimes she sits up and is able to open her eyes, sometimes she is able to eat some fruit. But most of the time, she sleeps. We are thankful that Rachel is not in pain. We are thankful that we have Rachel today! We are thankful for amazing friends and family that gather around us as we go through this time. We are thankful knowing so many people are praying for us. We are thankful for the food brought for our families. We are thankful for salvation and the knowledge that Rachel will soon be in heaven.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Rachel, I dont know you other than thru this blog and a mutual friend, but your life has touched me. I think of you and pray for you so often. I think of your husband and especially your little boys. Pls know there are people out here, holding you in prayer. Be peaceful, dearheart. Rachel's family - you all are remarkable, strong, compassionate people. I pray for and think of you also. I hope these days are calm, and you are able to continue to be strong and at peace.
