UPDATE ON JENNIFER

Four weeks after Austin was born, Jen's incision abcessed and ruptured. She had to have another surgery which resulted in a staph infection, a week's stay in the hospital, home with a wound vac for almost 3 weeks with bed rest. Family and friends were amazing in helping us get through these difficult weeks. Things are still not settled but we are trusting God for "good things" to come. He does not give us more than we can handle

In Jennifer's own words she posted on her Facebook, she states:


Let's see I had a c-section 8 weeks ago, then in the hospital 3 weeks after that, I have had a hole in my abdomin since then... and now let's add Greg having a broken foot to the mix! It is a stress fracture, he just woke up a few days ago with it hurting and progressively got more and more painful. He went to a pediatrist today and got another set of x-rays. They said it can take awhile to show up which is why it didn't show up on the first set he took last week.
Jen and Greg continue to need our prayers. God must have something very special for them.
Jen is working on her certification to teach. However, in order for her to get the teaching job in the fall, she has to take and pass the high school science certification test covering all science (physics, chemistry, biology etc) by June! She is supposed to go back to work in May.

Pray for Dan and I as her parents to know how to minister to them at this time. Austin is our little blessing and he has brought us much joy.
