The Road to Recovery

We want to take some time to thank you for your continued prayers on our behalf. We are doing better. Daniella continues to improve and is coughing less. Please pray that the cough will go away completely and will not return. It has been a cycle. She gets better, and then the cough comes back (as if out of nowhere). Sophie’s x-ray did come back normal. However, she is still coughing and is very congested. Lara is also feeling much better and has regained much of her strength back. This was a huge blessing as I was gone most of the time this week because of class. I am still trying to stay healthy, although I am not 100% at the moment.
Overall, we are feeling better than we felt two weeks ago. We credit your prayers for that and are grateful.

Our daughter had a persistent annual coughing affliction — in one case, diagnosed as a form of pneumonia. It caused a terrible barking cough that scared everyone (though us less so after a few years, since we got accustomed to it).

In my strictly non-professional way, I figured that her lungs early on "learned" that this was the way coughing happened, and never un-learned it.

Whatever the explanation, the past two winters have come without a major recurrence. I say this not to minimize the potential gravity of your situation, but because sometimes when diagnoses seem uncertain or unclear, a strong body asserts its own capacity to overcome infirmity.

We'll pray for you, though, and will look forward to further good news.
