A Mothers Day Miracle: RACHEL'S BACK

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Sun May 09, 2004 1:06 pm

How fitting that a young wife suffering from Cystic Fibrosis made her return to church today.

21, almost 22 year old Rachel Mayer came back to FBC Kissimmee this morning for the 11:00am service. This was her 1st time in church in well over 6 months.

Rachel has been in and out of hospitals since October as she has needed a double lung transplant. It was told that if Rachel did not receive it.. she would die.

Rachel got her transplant on February 23rd. I actually waved at Rachel today and she waved back. Didn't really say much because she is still covering her mouth and nose with a mask. {My guess is that is because she's either still afraid of infection or I really don't know..}

Rachel received a standing ovation and deserved it. :) Her mother also got a standing ovation.

Rachel also stated her biggest step was when she got to sing 1 of our churches' hymns without feeling short of breath after the song.

Way to go Rachel! :)

Yes Stormy.. I say so.. We now just have to keep praying that she doesn't have any backslides.. or anything to have her become sick again..

She looked so pretty.. But she also looked so slender too.. I don't even think Rachel weighs 100 pounds right now.. she looks like she lost a lot of weight..

I am ecstatic to know she came back though :)

I also hope her improvement continues. It was so uplifting to see her in church this morning.. It even brought a tear or 2 to my eyes..
