My Wife Is Home
Sorry for the delay, however, Rachel was released from the hospital on Friday! She is feeling o.k. but we have a LONG road. We will be spending a lot of time w/ Dr's and therapist in the following months. Rachel has had some short term memory loss along with some severe vision impairment in her right eye. She came home with a "pick line" and a few boxes of antibiotics. I am learning to play nurse! I give her med's to her through the I.V. She gets four treatment a day (8:00 am, 4:00 pm, 8:00 pm and midnight). The midnight treatment lasts 2 hours, so pray for me as I try to stay awake! She is still without her skull on the left side, therefore, she wears a protective helmet. The Dr's are saying approx. three months until they put her skull back in. The final diagnosis was an infection in her brain. We still do not know the source, however, the Dr's are still searching. Thank you so much for your prayers! I will do my best to "blog" daily until we are completely "out of the woods." The comments have been such an encouragment!

Klint and Rachel,
I am so glad to see the update! And to see Rachel's smiling face! I will continue to lift up all of you in prayer. I am so glad Rachel is home. We know alot about IV's and the process of fight infection with our experience with Caroline. It's hard, but you will make it...promise! Some infections require the long term antibiotics. But Caroline is a living example of the good that can and will come out of this for you. God is still working miracles.
Love,
Elaine Schwenker
Klint and Rachel - We will continue to pray for both of you as you continue the process of healing. I cannot tell you how amazing it has been to witness this experience and I thank you for keeping us updated. Rachel looks amazingly wonderful in the picture! Tell her we loved seeing that incredible smile! I will be praying for complete memory restoration and healing and for you, Klint, as you administer meds through the night, that God would multiply your rest and you would have deep restful sleep. Love you, Candy, Geof and Max
Talk about a million dollar baby!

Hello from Connecticut! I'm one of Adam's friends from Barretstown, and I just wanted to let you know that you all have been on my heart so much since Adam told me about Rachel last Sunday. My family, and also a family friend's church in MA have been praying for you daily... I'm SO happy to hear/see that Rachel is home and on the road to recovery! I hope that she continues to get better by the second! Lots of love and prayers to you all from the east coast!

I am so happy to hear that Rachel has gotten to come home. I know Abby has to be especially happy!
Klint, thanks for keeping us updated. I go out to your blog several times a day hoping for some word of her progress. Seeing what you have to say also provides me with specific ways to pray.
Please tell Brad and Sue that I love them and if they need any help here on the home front to give me a call. Kari Whelan
Klint nd Rachel,
I am sooo late in commenting because I only recently heard about this from Julie Delashaw (my husband's cousin) and only this morning figured out what a Blog was and saw all the details. Had no idea the seriousness of all of this and am so sorry!
You are in our prayers. Please tell Rachel we're praying for you guys and a hug for Brad and Sue.
