23 September 2017 - Update on Phoebe

It is now a month since we last gave an update about Phoebe. We have received several enquiries about her so feel the need to write again.

We rejoice that Phoebe is no longer in hospital and is able to attend school and take part in family life. However, the seizures and the treatment continue to have an impact on how Phoebe is able to function and cope with life.

Phoebe has little interest in her food, doesn't yet have a friend at school, and has lost her 'sparkle of joy'.

So Rachel and Matt ask, please pray for:
  • patience for us as parents – everything from dressing to eating to reading to simple conversation takes way longer for Phoebe than it does for Reuben. It already feels like he is her older brother, not younger.
  • for Phoebe to make a few good friends at school
  • for us all to cultivate a spirit of gratitude
  • for us to adapt well to a new culture and new systems
  • for Phoebe to get the right support in class so that she can enjoy learning
  • for Aubreigh Nicholas, a little girl in Mobile who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and has a slim chance of survival, and her family.
Thanks y’all! ðŸ™‚

We are making plans to go and visit Rachel, Matt, Phoebe and Reuben - and so be able to give them all big hugs!! Please pray that we would be a blessing and encouragement to them all.

Thank you and blessings

Marcus and Jen


PS. We do not expect to make another posting until December.
