Dear Friends,

It's been so busy around here that I haven't had a chance to write...I have so much to share.  Most important, Natalia will be going in for a Colonoscopy and a Endoscopy first thing tomorrow morning.  I am praying this will help us find the continuing discomfort she has after feedings.  I have complained about this discomfort since November, however something else always seemed to be more urgent. This nagging problem just won't seem to go away.  Two weeks ago they noticed some barium left in her intestine area from a procedure last Nov.  That may be part of the problem...I will let you know more after tomorrow.

These past few weeks we have also had to make a difficult decision to change schools for our children.  They have been attending a
wonderful school across town.  With all the changes in our life we feel we needed to take some stress off ourselves  $$ and we feel
this new school is where we are being lead to go...I have spent many hours praying about the change hoping it will be best for the
children and I am sure it will be.

The most exciting news is that through all of the craziness around here the last few weeks a wonderful surprise has enveloped our life.
Last Monday, my sister's, sister in law, called me expressing she wanted to help me share Natalia's story on the Internet...After just about an hour of conversation we decided it would be a prayer web site, for Natalia has brought many to prayer. My sister thought it would be wonderful if answered prayers could be praised.  And with that, our site was born...By Tuesday morning, the first page was done, and it seemed I couldn't get the letters over to Ginny fast enough. I have been sent zillions of poems, inspirational stories etc... Of course, we have only just begun...We have some ideas and are sure the spirit will help lead us and guide us as this web site grows. 

I need to share a few stories with you... Unfortunately it's late, I am tired and I need to rest.  I will look forward to sharing with you some of the remarkable things that have happened soon.  For now, please check out the healing power of prayer site and please put a prayer request in if you feel so moved.
I will pray with Natalia daily for all of you.  Please feel free to help us pray for this site also.  Please pray also for Ginny (who helped put the site up) and myself that we always keep focused on the will of God and we continue to be lead by the spirit. Thank you all for continuing to help us pray for Natalia's healing.

Oh!!! By the way, GOOD NEWS her hearing test ABR (Brain stem) came back NORMAL  that's right!!!!! She can hear...and she lets us know with her smiles.  She may not hear like you or I, but she is hearing and responds beautifully. We are thrilled!!! I will get some new photos up soon. I just need to get Stephen to scan them...I hope you enjoy the new site...
