HELD BY HIM

WOW.

What a two weeks it has been!! I had PET SCAN Friday: came back clear then Quick, uncle Randy and aunt roslyn, matt and laura came to celebrate that night and we had a blast!! Saturday Quick and I  had a wonderful time at Washington Park eating Twila Faye's and exploring the Indian Mounds in Macon then we had a delicious meal at the Hunt's and prayed and talked for hours Saturday night. We went to North Macon Pres Sunday and got to hear Hunter Stevenson deliver God's Word and eat lunch with Matt and Laura at Jeanine's!!! Then we took a little nap and Quick had to leave :( Then that night I drove up to Kennesaw to eat dinner and watch a movie with Quick and his friends and then Monday I had pre opp. Pre opp went well just a bunch of blood work and paper work and we waited for Tuesday. I thought tues was going to be the worst day but it ended up being one of the easiest. I had to get a radioactive shot injected into my mole and i thought it was going to be way more painful then it actually was!!! YAY that was over and I had to be at the hospital at 7 AM Wed morning for the surgery. I had to prep for surgery and sleep in clean pajamas, clean sheets and clean pillow cases. I woke and I was ready to get this over with. We had about a two hour delay because of a surgery Dr. Martin was in but that was ok. Then Dr. McLendon came in with some scary news my platelet  count was extremely low and they might not be able to finish the surgery...the surgery went more than great and they got clean margins and clear lymphnodes!! I am still in the process of recovering keep praying for healing to be speedy and for me to be ready to go back to Zambia in 2 weeks!! Sawyer and Joe are doing great and cannot wait to have me back and the new children cannot wait to meet Mrs Rachel!!! please continue to pray for MICS, the teachers and the staff, for Gil and Rhonda Krause and for the people of Macha. Pray for Sue and Joel Bolthouse as they will be  visiting their sons in Kenya this week!! Thank you for all the prayers I feel Jesus is right beside me and has been holding me through this whole process.
thanks for being the body of christ,
rach
