 It seems like in the past few weeks we have sent out a few prayer requests for friends and family that we felt needed much prayer.  It is so easy to forget to let you know how things turn out.  I was very excitedto recieve the information below that we wanted to share it with you.

Shiloh Hache

Thank you for praying.  Shiloh’s levels (not to sure what they were measuring I think it was the bilirubin in her blood) went up to 18 and couldn’t go past the mid 20s or brain damage would happen,  but praise God her levels are coming down.  Jason called my aunt (his mother)  at 2 a.m. and said the level was 14 and then this morning at 9 a.m. it was 10 and she will not have to have a blood transfer or transfusion.  If she continues to do well she may be discharged from ICU tonight and maybe sent back to the hospital where she was born tomorrow or Sunday and then maybe home.  She still needs to be under a special blanket with special lights for a few days.  Please continue to pray for Beka as her body and emotions have been through a lot with her grandpa dying on the day Shiloh was born and everything that has gone on since.  They are a bit concerned about postpartum depression, please pray for the Lord to carry her through all this in a healthy way.  Jason and the children also need continued prayer and Beka’s mom Brenda as she leaves Tues to go to her Dad’s funeral (she lives in CA and that is also where her father lived).  She will fly back for another week and a half to be with Beka and Jason and help as much as she can.

Richard

I should let you know how Richard is.  He is home from hospital and seems well.  He is booked to have his heart surgery for April 12 and there is much surgery needed.  His results from his last angiogram last Friday said his left artery is blocked 70% so he needs to surgery sooner rather than later as his right artery is 100% calcified and his ascending aorta is also quite calcified and he needs a new aortic heart valve.  It really sounds overwhelming but I do believe in a God who does miracles and has done in the past and will do so again in the future.

John

Just to keep you updated on John also.  His surgery went well and they were able to remove the fluid.  He had a quick recovery time in the ICU with no complication and then to the normal ward and home in amazing time.  The doctors were able to remove all of the fluid but did find the tumor to be cancerous so he will now have to start an agresive regime of chemo.  Please pray that all goes well through this process.

Yesterday my cousin Jason and his wife Rebekah had a beautiful baby girl weighing 10 lb 7 oz and they named her Shiloh.  Well tonight Shiloh is very sick and in the Children’s Hospital Intensive Care Department in Minneapolis. She developed jaundice and her level is increasing to a very high and dangerous level.  She also has issues with some blood antibodies hurting her red blood cells and causing the jaundice to accelerate and there is a risk of brain damage if her levels get too high..  They are trying her on IV medications and if it doesn’t work they may have to do a blood transfer.

Please pray for her recovery and the doctor’s to have great wisdom in treating this condition.  Pray for the peace of God that passes understanding for Becka and Jason.  Pray for God to turn this around for their good and His glory.

 Please also pray for their two older children Jakob and Mercedes, they are both still very young and will have a hard time understanding what is going on.

Thanks again for checking up on our website and finding out what we are up to….  I wanted to move away from the normal family type updates and ask you to pray for my cousin Richard.

Richard is currently in hospital awaiting a decission by a surgeon on what to do with his heart.  he went in just over a week ago with the intention of having a valve replaced/worked on.  The Dr’s felt that this was not going to work as his condition was different than they had anticipated.  Today (Saturday 6th Feb) a specialist is looking at his case and deciding if he will do a specialised surgery to help him. 

 Please pray that the surgery will go forward and that there will be no complications.

 I am aware that my explanation is very vague but, as many of you know i have absolutely no medical knowledge… so i thought vague was better than mis-communication!!!

Thanks again for praying!!

Since 24th of December we have been in Ottawa visiting with Eileen’s family.  What a great blessing it has been being able to spend the holidays together.  For a full week we all camped out at Eileen’s sisters house, they graciously added our family and the grandma to the mix of their daily life, We all had a lot of fun!!

On our first Sunday in Canada the kids were all very excited when we had to stop on our way to church to let the Moose cross the road!!

 We are now back at Grandma’s for the rest of our visit.  There has been a lot of snow and many chances to be out skating, toboganing and playing in the snow.  Thankfully we have only had one trip to the emergency room and that was not because of a winter accident!!  Eden had unfortunatly stepped on some glass and we were just unable to get it all out of her foot ourselves… even through we had thought that we did.

Eileen was also able to spend time alone with her mother and grandmother visiting her great aunt in her new home. 

Aaron took all the kids toboganing today while Eileen went to a friends knitting club…

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for all of our family this past week.  We have been amazed as we have been seeing God do amazing things to work out his plan.   On Monday morning when Margie (Aaron’s Mom) left London she was heading to Kentucky to visit Luke, Andrea, Maddox & Ivy.   Thankfully Aunt Dail was able to see that her plans needed to be changed.  Contacting the airline allowed them to stop her at her transfer point of Chicago to have her call home.  She was then able to go on to Clinton to spend time with her mother.  These days seem extremely precious as living so far away from her Margie was blessed with spending Grandma’s last two days with her. Grandma Spence passed away on Wednesday 25th February.   We are saddened by this but, thankful that we know who she spends eternety with.  We were also able to find flights for Aaron, Randy, Tina, Joy and Francois all to the US in time for both the visitation and the funeral.

Thank you to all of you who prayed for the inspection Aaron was having at work.  It all went well and now he can move forward with the rest of the work knowing he has passed the final inspection.

 Please continue to pray for workers, finances and safety on the completion of this job.

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for my mother as she was taken into hospital last Wednesday.  It seems that now they have done the angiogram and the Dr is confident that they don’t need to do anything more other than medication.

We are pleased that nothing more serious needs to be done and thankfull for so many of your prayers.  Please continue to pray for her as she has her last few days in hospital and gets used to her medication.

Blessings,

Eileen
