As some of you may know, my younger sister, Rachel, is critically ill in the hospital. Last Tuesday she had a major stroke due to vessels in her brain being blocked by an autoimmune disorder. Since then, she has had 7 additional strokes, leaving her left side completely incapacitated, difficulty swallowing and speech.
She is currently in the ICU and will be transferred to Methodist as soon as a bed becomes available. Once there, she will most likely be having a major and incredibly delicate surgery.
Many have asked what can you do. Pray. Ask God to place a hedge of protection around her, and to guide the team of healthcare providers following her. Pray for my parents, siblings, extended family and all the people who's lives she's touched. We all need peace during this high stress time.
We ask that you please allow Rachel the time to rest. In the ICU there are only 2 people allowed in at a time. We ask that if you'd like to visit, to please contact my Mom, Kandi, first via text. Also, there are no plants and flowers allowed in the ICU.
I will do my best to keep you posted. Our priority is Rachel, so please be patient if we're not able to respond to your messages or texts right away. Also know that we read every single message sent to Rachel and it makes our hearts overflow to know we have so many who love and support us. We could not do this journey without God's guidance and our army of prayer warriors and friends behind us.
At this time, I will not be accepting any future cookie orders. If you have an order booked with me, I may be contacting you to cancel or reschedule. I am truly, deeply sorry for any frustration or upset this may cause. My priority and focus must be on my sister at this time. I appreciate your understanding and patience. I will let you know when I am up and running again.
