Good evening,
Rachel had another good day here at Madonna. Mom and I got here this morning and hung out with her all day through her different therapies. Nancy (Ryan's mom) has been here this weekend during the day and Ryan comes in the evening.
It was great to see the improvements that Rachel has made in one week. I left her Tuesday night in Iowa City and she has been here since Wednesday. She is getting physically stronger every day, even the therapists can tell a difference from one day to the next.
Today, the Speech Therapist gave her a banana to eat and she did very well with it, I'm not sure if it was cut up or mashed, but Rachel loved it.
The doctors/therapist all meet in the morning for their weekly meeting to discuss Rachel's progress and will determine further goals/plans. We are curious to see what they say. The Pulmonary Doctor will see Rachel tomorrow and make the final say if she can have the trach out. She hasn't used her trach for a week, so we see no need for her to keep it. We thought he was going to stop by on Monday, but he got postponed for some reason.
Your prayers have a noticeable impact!

Hi Rachel, I've left you comments at least 5 others time but they got returned and are somewhere out there in "cyberland"! I talked to your Dad (the birthday boy) tonight and wow did I have alot of questions for him! We're thrilled to hear of your progress and truly treasure every word of your blog.
We love you to pieces and are SO proud of you! love, Aunt Barb, Uncle Rob and your cousins
Hi Rachel and everyone.
It is amazing what has happened in the last few weeks especially looking at the list of things you guys were initially told. Continuing to pray and uphold you all before our Father in Heaven. So glad we can come to the Throne of grace with anything and He hears immediately. No busy signals.

It's Heather again. Just stopping in from Georgia to say hello. You're all in my thoughts and prayers and I'm so thankful that things are progressing... (Slowly perhaps) but progressing nonetheless. I love you all, and I am amazed daily by the visible hand of our Lord at work in your lives. Thank you for being an example of trust.
