I wanted to take a moment to give a quick update on baby Cora, Jess & Joel. Cora was released from the Pediatric ICU this afternoon and moved back into her room into the Pediatric unit. She is continuing to recover from her surgery and has made many improvements today. They were able to remove her oxygen and she seemed to rest comfortably most of the day.
Many friends and even people who have never met the McClenahan family have expressed a desire to donate funds. I am in the process of working on a website and a donation blog (with the help of many others!) where people can give and help in a practical way. Joel and Jess live in an adorable farm house where every room has been lovingly remodeled except for the bathroom. This bathroom was going to be Joel's "winter project." However, now that his time and energy will be devoted to Cora, friends and family have come together to remodel the bathroom. We know that it would bless them to finish this project.
Please check back tomorrow as we will hopefully have the website up and the donation button active. We will also be asking fellow bloggers to drive their own blog readers to the Cora's main site so that we can deliver accurate and updated information...
Until then, keep praying with us for a miracle and for total healing for Cora. We know that thousands of people are praying and the entire family is so grateful for all of the love and support...even from total strangers! Your prayers are coveted and I ask you to continue to partner with people all around the world (literally!) that are lifting precious baby Cora and her beloved family to the Lord.
Sweet Jess and Cora
Joel, Jess & Cora
