Rachel is home this afternoon. She is doing great and resting comfortably. All things are looking good and we are very glad to have her back. Thank you for the prayers! They worked wonders.

ICU Again
Being that Rachael's breathing was only about 4 breaths
per minute when she was resting, they have decided to place her in ICU until the sedatives have run themselves out. She will be here until sometime tomorrow at which time she will get a regular room, most likely on the orthopedic floor. She will be in a lot of pain so please pray for her to rest comfortably and to have a much better tomorrow.
Prayer Needed For Pain/Respiratory
Rachael took a long time to come out of the anesthesia. Her breathing went down to a critical 4 breaths a minute. The nurse wisely called in the rapid response team and they administered a drug to counteract sedatives given post-op. The plan is to find a balance between pain Med and breathing rate.
Please pray for that balance and that her pain is manageable. Also for Nancy and I as this is difficult.

Out And Doing Well
Just spoke to Dr Dingle. All went well! She has flexibility on her right leg now and the hip was in a very bad place at the siatic nerve so the pain was extreme and should be alleviated. We are waiting to go see her in recovery.
Surgery Today
Hello Friends,
Rachael is having surgery today to correct a very painful condition involving her hip and aductmuscles. Though not nearly the impact on her as the previous surgery was, this is still traumatic for her. The surgery lasts about 45 minutes. We ask you for prayer as she goes through another visit to SMH.
Surgery is set for 1 PM
Please pray for:
Caring hands
No complications
No infections
Quick discharge from Hospital
As for the ':
Peace and witness opportunities.
Blessings,
Burt
