Update February 12, 2008--First Week Finished, Second Week Started

Dear Friends,

Thank you for praying through this new phase of Sierra Rose's life. She finished her first week of hyperbaric treatments and began her second week yesterday. At this point, the plan is for her to continue being treated through the first week of April.

Thank you so much for your generosity. God has provided abundantly. He has also provided safety during the long commutes. For example, R's car had a flat tire last Wednesday. The flat didn't occur anywhere on the highway, but at the house. Upon closer examination, R realized that the tire was not repairable--it had metal protruding from the rubber. God took care of that situation and provided the right amount to get new tires.

Several friends and even strangers have offered R, Sierra, and my mother places to stay while in San Antonio. So far, though, they have been able to stay at a motel very close to the treatment site. The motel has a significantly discounted rate for people receiving hyperbaric treatment. Because the motel is so close, they can avoid the bad San Antonio traffic.

People at the hyperbaric facility have been friendly and caring. This is an additional blessing.

Sierra's legs appear to be getting stronger. Also, she is turning to her sides more frequently. We're not sure if this is due to the treatments or not, but it's good either way.

Thank you for being faithful in praying. God is still working.
