A ray of sunshine - Update on Rachel

A ray of sunshine through the cold snow

Fantastic news!!! Rachel has been doing so well that she been moved out of intensive care into a ward. She responds well to medication and she keeps on fighting very hard. Although she is still intubated and cannot talk yet she is reacting to the world around her and she's been listening to JLS's music. Rachel is a big fan of JLS' and her school mates have managed to get a signed sweater for her with a lovely letter. We are all very impressed by her fighting attitude, her positive spirit and and cheerful smile. Thank you very much to all of you for keeping her in your prayers and thoughts. I firmly believe that's helping a lot. Special thanks to Jane's youngest son who's been praying for Rachel every day! Bless you too!

A prayer for Rachel

Please please please, whichever is your religion, whatever is your belief, spare a prayer, a kind thought, a bit of hope for young Rachel. She is one of my daughter’s lovely friends, not yet 12 and loved by everybody in the village. She was taken to hospital a few days ago apparently after a serious sinusitis. Rachel is beautiful, lively, kind and generous and now she’s fighting for her life after two brain operations. We are all devastated. I believe in the power of prayers, the power of thoughts and hope. Please please please, think of Rachel and her family.

UPDATE (6/01/10):

Thank you very much for your very warm response. Your prayers

and thoughts are very much appreciated. You may be please to

hear that Rachel seems to respond to her treatment and she has even

given a "thumbs-up" to her parents. Please still keep her

in your thoughts!
