looking good

she's happy to report

that her 'bronch' went well today

her lungs are clear and she's breathing good

she told me that she goes the whole night without

the help of an oxygen machine

she also got a new g-tube put in today

-the old one was leaking, -new one now in place

-that tube's there just 'in-case'

her nurse called me and said she's doing great and

looking good


they might take her trach tube out soon too

boy, will that be wonderful when that's out

so, it's all good

thank god and thank you all for your prayers

100th posting


this is a very special posting

not because it's the one hundredth

but because she called this morning with

lots 'o good news (and was so happy)

she said that she just finished physical therapy

-not for the day, but finished

(they signed her off) -very happy with her progress

also that her kidneys are working much better

and that her lung infection and her rejection

seem to be under control

and that she seems to think that

they may let her outta there by next friday

-next friday

that's so unbelievably great (thank god)


she's such a tough kid and so hopeful

she's gone through so much, fought so hard

and over come so much

yet, there's a long road ahead

but she's traveled so far already

and so far, so good

and now ...a rare infection

today we found out that her doctors

are treating her for a rare lung infection

also that the tube in her stomach

that they can feed her through and

can administer medications into

...is leaking

and that the biopsy of her lung tissue shows

stage one rejection


however

even though that all sounds pretty scary

she seems to think it'll all be taken care of

-they're fixing the tube

giving her meds for the infection

(it's an oral anti-infection drug she breathes)

and they feel they will be able to treat the rejection

she's in good spirits and just wants to get outta there


she just called (doesn't that sound great)

had a GREAT talk, they've fixed her tube

and she's looking forward to her pizza dinner

(doesn't that sound great?)

the power of prayer+



today was the 'one minute for acacia'

where people from all over the country

-in and out of churches

took a least one minute to ask god

-to continue to protect and preserve acacia

and to continue her wonderful healing


well, it worked

she texted me that they wanna kick her out of there next week!

i can't believe it, so wonderful and so powerful


i want to personally thank everyone so much for all the love

and thank my father in heaven for all his unconditional love and protection

one minute for acacia

please don't forget

this sunday at 9am (local time)

is when we ask churches and believers everywhere

to thank god for all he's done for acacia

and to ask for his continued protection

and blessing of her


please see the link at the left of this page

and urge all other believers and their pastors and churches

to do the same


thank you all for all your love and compassion

and your prayers for the health and healing of acacia
