Update and Prayer Request for Braelyn

Just a quick update....

Things are going pretty well. We have been having a lot of opportunities to share at churches which has been great. Last Sunday we shared at the church I grew up in, FBC Dandridge, and a lot of my extended family was able to come and spend the afternoon with us. It was a great time of fellowship. I'm very thankful to my mom for getting it all together.
    This weekend we are traveling to Christiansburg, VA to speak at Good Shepherd Baptist Church. This was our home church during four years of medical school. We are excited to see everyone there and see how God is working.

 Prayer Request: This past January Braelyn had an allergic reaction while taking Augmentin. However, it was not the typical presentation of an allergic reaction to this medicine, so we have a doctor's appt this Monday morning with a children's allergist to try and figure out if she is truly allergic to this medicine or not. Please pray that the tests come back negative and that she is not allergic.

Also, it is looking like our leave date might be Oct. 2nd. We were looking at the end of the last week in September, but we are told it would be better if we leave at the beginning of the week.

We are busy trying to make our final purchases and sorting through the rest of our "stuff". I practiced packing an action packer full of the girls toys.....unfortunately, we can find our scale to weigh it and see if it is under the 50 lb limit. But it is a pretty amazing thought to think that most all of our toys can fit in one trunk! That is minus any books......probably going to have to spread those out in a few different pieces of luggage. Hopefully it will meet the weight requirement and I will know how to pack at least one thing :).

 My Pop, who is 90 years old, was able to make the trip and spend the day with us!











Thanks for your prayers and support. This season of transition seems like an emotional rollercoaster at times. We are excited for the opportunity, but it is a lot of work getting there.
