Deanna R

One of our good friends in St. P, Deanna, teaches at the Christian school with Thomas.  She's recently finished her first year here, with another one scheduled if everything can be worked out with the visas.

Her grandfather has recently been in the hospital, and is doing better now, but he is in poor health.  Deanna is going home this summer and is praying for some special time with her grandfather.

Luke is Here!

We are praising God for the healthy delivery of Luke, our newest nephew and Thomas' parents' 7th grandchild (5th grandson)!

From what we've heard, Emily was induced early Tuesday morning, and Luke joined the outside world at 1:31 pm weighing in at 9 lbs!

Silas S

Silas was scheduled to have a swallow test done on Thursday that was cancelled at the last minute.  The therapist doing the test decided that she wanted Silas to have the advantage of doing some more therapy before running the test.  The results of this test will let Silas' parents know if he can begin eating food by mouth rather than continuing to use his feeding tube.
