Cassandra Update


Here is the update I received on Jen and Cassandra Starr.


Dear Friends & Family,Cassandra is nearly 2 weeks old and doing quite well. Yesterday she reached2 lbs in weight which is a good milestone to hit. I have attached a coupleof pictures so you could see her at about 10 days old.We have had many answers to prayer and we serve a great God.


1) After not working for the 1st week, her bowels havestarted to function correctly

2) Her lungs and heart are in excellent condition and theymay take her off all breathing support by the weekend.

3) Her jaundice is gone.


We still have some prayer requests for her.

1) She has been on antiobiotics for the last 3 days. They think shemight have an infection

2) They have tried giving her Jenny's milk, but she cannot handleanything in her stomach yet. Please pray that she will be able to eat.

3)Because they are taking blood regularly and checking for infections, and red blood cell counts, etc., it looks as though she mighthave to have a blood transfusion.


Jenny is doing better and getting stronger with each day. However, her blood pressure is still high at times. Please pray that God will even herblood pressure out. Thank you for all your prayers and ntoes ofencouragement. We have great confidence in our God and He has already shownHimself to be mighty in our lives.

Monica -
I'm not sure you'll remember me, but I went on extension with Chris & Jen. Could you send me their e-mail address/real address (if you have it). I would love to send them a note.
Thanks!
