Tuesday Morning

Last night Rachel had an episode and we walked her through it they way will at home without the doctor's around. It was really neat to work with her through that time as her body was not being able to move and to just quote scripture with her and keep her thoughts on God. We continued to tell her that what was happening to her body was a normal part of the healing process. (This always causes some anxiety.) God was faithful and just ministered to her during that time. It was great to watch as she was able to relax - let her body be weak and trust God to bring her through.

The episode lasted about 15 minutes and her legs were paralyzed and numb for about 20 minutes longer, then everything returned to normal again. This will be the biggest challenge as we are home and getting her stronger there. Pray for Rachel to have a real sense of God's presence during those times of weakness.

She had a great night of sleep and we are ready for a long day ahead of us getting ready to go home. I will update as I can.
