Transplant update and another prayer request



Jessy is home and feeling very good. We visited her on Friday afternoon and she looked great. She is able to walk around but has difficulty sitting up on her. She recounted for us the whole story of the operation. She never felt fear until right before she went under from the anesthesia. The last thing she heard was “Pass me the rib-separator.” Jeony and Jessy were able to see Daniella through a window on Saturday. They said she looks like a completely different person.

Daniella had some troubling news today. I do not have all the details but I do know she needs to have a session of dialysis today. Jeony and Jessy are sadden by the news but realize this is sometimes the case after a transplants. Please keep praying for Daniella’s kidney and the Ordonez family.

We had a horrible accident occur afterschool on Thursday. Two of our first graders were hit by a car on their walk home – Ellen and Valesqa. They both spent a day in the hospital. Valesqa was sent home with a bruised spine and has to be in bed for a month while she heals. Ellen was not so fortunate. She cracked her hip bone and broke her femur. She will need surgery which takes place Tuesday. Please pray for her. The family of Ellen is distraught over the situation. Her family is struggling financially and the school has helped.

Thanks
