My thoughts are with Rachel and your family.
My nephew’s appendix burst a few weeks ago. He has a high pain threshold, he thought he had a stomachache and it would go away. By the time he got a fever, gangrene had set in. He was a very sick young man. Prayers really saved his life, and guided the doctors hands and treatment. It will take awhile for him to recover, but he is doing well.
I will pray for Rachel and your family, prayer does make a difference.
Rachel also does not complain over small things—LOL! She got a sprained ankle a week ago, with a torn tendon, and she used crutches for a week, is just using the cast now. She’s sort of a tomboy, at this age, really enjoys being outdoors with her cousins at the farm.
