Rachel Update

Rachel's rash/allergic reaction worsened over the weekend, I considered (several times) taking her back up to the ER. Monday could not come soon enough. We saw the Infectious Disease Dr. this morning. She ruled out all the "real bad" stuff (praise God). Rachel just has a very bad drug reaction. The Dr. does not know which antibiotic is causing the problem, therefore, we are starting some new med's tonight. The in-home care nurse is coming over tonight to start us on some new med's through the I.V. She is also on a steroid to help clear up the rash. We are hoping it will clear up in 7-10 days! Other than that, Rachel seems to be doing fine. She is excited to get her staples out (all 97) this Thursday. Thanks for your continued prayers, they mean so much to our family! And a special thanks to Sue (Rachel's mother), my mom, dad and sister for all their help! More later.

Thanks for the update, Klint. I'm glad they seem to have the rash under control. We're still praying here in Abilene. You're all in our thoughts. Love to the girls - Candy

Klint and Rachel, We really do appreciate your updates, Klint. It's a relief that the rash seems to be "only" a reaction to some medicine. Hang in there, even though it's tough. We're all pulling for you and keeping you before the Father. Love, Roberta

Klint and Rachel,
Our prayers continue that Rachel will soon get relief from the rash and find the best medicines for her. Roberta shared pictures of the family tonight on e-mail. They are precious. I talked with Ida last night. Give our love to all your family. Blessings.

Klint,
I spoke with your Dad today and he informed me of the difficult times you all have faced the past couple weeks. I just want to let you know that you and Rachel are in our thoughts and prayers.
