Update November 12, 2007

Dear Friends,

Below is an e-mail that J and R sent out last night.

--MK

Sierra Rose is home! We are excited that she is doing well enough for her to get out of the hospital.

The power of prayer cannot be underestimated. We believe that the reason she is alive and doing as well as she is today is due to the power of God and of prayer. We thank you all for your prayer support.

We do not yet know how the areas of brain damage will affect her in the years to come. We will have to wait and see how God chooses to work. As a reminder, the three areas of brain damage were vision, executive decisions, and sleep. We are praying that God will continue to work miracles in her life and body.

Although Sierra has been able to take all of her feedings by bottle (much to the amazement of the doctors and nurses) she still has the gastrointestinal tube (G-tube). We would appreciate your prayers that she would continue to keep up with her feeding needs and that the tube would be able to be removed soon.

This will be the last email update. However, we still covet your prayers! We will keep updating the blog at http://sierraroseupdates.blogspot.com.

Thank you,

J and R
