Good Evening,
Rachel received her P.E.G. today, and that procedure went A-OK. While that should help her with feeding, there seems to be an issue with Rachel's ability to clear the secretions from her mouth and upper nasal cavity. We have been in talks today with the medical staff about the appropriate actions to take, and there seem to be many options, and at this point, we are praying for guidance in making those calls.
As a precaution, the medical staff put the breathing tube back in today. I want to make it clear that this has nothing to do with Rachel's ability to breath, because she can do that just fine. It is getting rid of the secretions from saliva, mucus, etc. that are building in her nasal cavity that is the challenge, and the only reason she has a breathing tube right now is to prevent these secretions from getting into her lungs and causing further complications.
Continue praying. Rachel needs it.

Rachel-
Keep pressing forward even when you do not feel like it! Many people are praying for you here in NC still. Just wanted you to know that. I hope you are encouraged that many who are reaching out to you are those that you yourself have ministered to. The family of God is a neat thing! Love, Amanda Willis
Rachel, we knew you as our teenage babysitter--one of our favorites! (Although the kids are not too sure you were their favorite--they couldn't get away with anything with you and RuthAnne babysitting! :) )
We are praying for you and your fiance. Remember to constantly lean on the Lord because with Him everything is possible!! Kitt (for the Watleys)
Trusting the Lord will continue to give you wisdom. I will continue to pray and bring Rachel before the throne. May the Lord allow you to soar through this trial - seeing His blessings and feeling His peace! Pleae let Rachel know that she is thought of and cared for!
I recieved this prayer request from a woman named Elizabeth in my Bible study group in Casper, WY. I just wanted to leave a note and let you know that you are being prayed for.
Rach,
I love you with all my heart and are on my mind every waking hour. You are such a strong woman you CAN an WILL pull through this.
We have almost the whole town praying for you...( still working on that part).
Love always!! Jen Bonnot ( Chorenziak)
We're still praying!
Psalm 121
I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
Love, Jim and Linda
