9th April 2018 - further improvement

We are delighted that Phoebe has continued to improve since her spell in hospital a month ago. Her daily dose of Cortisol has had a significant impact in her life! She has more energy, an improved appetite, her general mood has improved and she looks much brighter! These are wonderful answers to our prayers for her. Praise the Lord!

Recently we had gone to bed and were woken by a phone call from Phoebe, wanting to show us how her weight had increased - and then she did five press-ups!

This past week Rachel & Matt, Phoebe & Reuben have been delighted to have a visit of close friends from Sheffield. We have seen photos of them at the beach (sunshine and blue sea!) and in New Orleans, and the children playing in a paddling pool in the garden.


It is great to see Phoebe joining in with the others and having great fun.

Phoebe & Reuben's one week Easter holiday is over, so today it is back to school - but for less than two months; Reuben will finish school on 25 May, while Phoebe will finish a week earlier, because she is due to spend the week of 21-24 May having further check ups at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. 

They then both have ten weeks summer holidays: they are due to have a family holiday in California, and then Rachel and the children will come to the UK for much of July.

We are so thankful to those you have continued to pray with us for Phoebe's situation to improve!! We rejoice for the recent improvement, but there are still big decisions to be made about Phoebe's schooling.

Rachel, Matt and Reuben have been greatly helped by the recent change in Phoebe, which makes the family dynamics easier and meal times more relaxed.

With very grateful thanks - and praise to God

Marcus and Jen
