Update

I have a few updates. Amanda Vollmer was diagnosed with laryngomalacia (soft larynx, in which the skin of the larynx will collapse during inhalation - resulting in squeaking noises) and will undergo laser surgery to correct it Monday. Apparently they should be able to take Amanda home the same day as surgery. I am sure they are worried about anesthesia and turning their daughter over to strangers to help her, it isn't easy to do that. We know what God can do and he will hold Amanda for them until they can do it themselves.

My Grandma is home again and there is someone coming to stay with her a few hours every day to help her get lunch and look after her. I don't know too much more, just that she is tired and still not quite herself.

Maria - any news on Maureen?

We ask for continued prayers for Gabriel as he goes to surgery again tomorrow. We have hope that this will be the last surgery until he is much older.

Thanks to all of our prayer warriors out there, it is so comforting to know you are there.

Dear Josh and Peg,

We will be thinking about Little Gabriel and praying for him during the surgeries today. He has been such an inspiration to all of us as he has fought through all the adversities that he has faced. We pray that all will go well with what he faces today.

Know that you ALL are in our hearts and our prayers.

Love, Jenni

We have the entire St. William school praying for Gabe! Our principal announced his surgery over the intercom. My partner Maureen's husband is now working with a job coach. So things are looking better. Thanks!
