Prayer Request Update

I don't think there has ever been a time in our lives when we have been so dependant on prayer. Thank you to those of you who have been praying us through this crazy time.

Here are the latest prayer needs:

- That Annabelle's shunt continues to work properly
- That the V3 procedure was successful and the opening in her ventricles remains open
- That Annabelle continues to develop right on track and is able to walk one day

Something I have not mentioned is that our house is now in foreclosure. Due to the economic downturn, we are making 30% of what were were 18 months ago. That's pretty tough to budget around. We are in negotiations with our lenders to modify our loans and are hoping for a successful resolution. The idea of losing our house that so many have poured their hard work into is unbearable. So if you wouldn't mind praying along those lines as well - especially between now and March 4th - that would be great.

Thank you for all your prayers and comments, e-mails and support.

Nana-korohi, ya-oki
