MRI Results

(Someone else’s puppy, thankfully!)

Gracie’s MRI revealed a cleft in her cerebellum - the motor control and coordination section. It’s an old prematurity-related injury from lack of oxygenation that inhibited the normal development of that area, if I am understanding correctly. They couldn’t find anything to explain some strange spikes during sleep that can be related to epilepsy (but in her case are not). They found scarring and thickening in her sinuses. She has had chronic sinus issues for YEARS. Her passages are so tiny they don’t drain well!


She is recovering well from her surgery, being a champ through the pain. ❤️ Precious girl. Here’s a photo she took a couple of weeks ago.

Gracie is doing great!

 Everything went well in surgery; still awaiting MRI results. Please pray she heals well with minimal pain. Thank you for praying!




Still out of it for a couple of hours, but eager to drink!


Gracie getting an MRI and surgery

This little 12-year-old girl is getting her adenoids and tonsils removed this morning and is also getting an MRI to rule out any issues left over from prematurity. We appreciate prayer and will update ASAP!
A bonus selfie Gracie took on our SIX week road trip visiting the people and churches that make our ministry in PNG (and Dallas and Waxhaw) possible and o so blessed!!
We just returned last week!
