update

Ok guys, sorry so long with another post. I have too many things I am trying to do at once. Imagine that around our house??

I finally turned in the first t-shirt order this week. YEA!! We had 36 in this order. Which I thought was good. We had originally thought we would just order ours first and show them around and then take orders, but people wanted to order with us this time. As soon as we get them, I will take a picture of our family in them and post it on here, so that you can see the finished product. Many thanks to everyone who ordered one.

We have made a little progress in the fundraising effort. Thank you all who have donated, you know who you are, and we are forever greatful. We continue to pray for the funds to be raised, and we know that they will, in GOD'S TIME. Since my last update, we have had some major setbacks as far as what the future hold for Gracie. We have been told that she will not ever be completely off of the ventilator. We know GOD has her future in HIS hands and that definately means she can be healed. In the meantime, we have to be realistic in planning for her future. This means the van is even more of a need and so will making our house handicap accessible. The house issue is another whole issue in itself. Don't want to go into details here and spill our whole private issue, but please list this as a "house prayer request" when you are praying for Gracie and our family.

I have spoken with a couple of people and also have 1 of our nurses working with me on trying to organize some different things. The Chick-fila day is out, they no longer do that for individuals. BUMMER. But we are working on some different things. I will keep you posted on the details.

If you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt, please email me and let me know or leave me a message on here. I do check this often, just haven't had any new news to report so I haven't updated.

Please keep up with Gracie's caringbridge website also. It is time for an update on it as well! Continue to pray for funds to be raised for Gracie's medical issues. www.caringbridge.org/visit/gracieannpoole

If any of you have any fundraiser ideas or contacts, please please let me know! I need all the help I can get. A couple of things that are possibilities are, a motorcycle ride, bowlathon, golf tournament, and a run??? If you have any info on these ideas or new ideas, please by all means pass it along!

Thanks so much.
