Paisley Update

Paisley was taken off of the vent yesterday (Oct. 18) in the morning. Jessica was able to hold her and even nurse her by that night. This means just a few more days in the hospital before she comes home. The big hurdles are Paisley has to prove she can eat and regulate her body temperature. The Crow family thanks everyone that has been praying for her and just asks for continued prayers for her to come home soon.

Paisley Jean Crow

Please keep Paisley in your prayers. She has been at Big Baptist since October 13 (the day after she was born) due to respatory distress. She inhaled amniotic fluid and has a pneumothorax. The latter is healing on its own but the former is giving her some difficulties. She is in the NICU on a resporator. Hopefully she will be coming home soon. Today, Oct. 16, her breathing was less labored and that is a good sign. Jessica will keep Sister Helen and Lisa Wade posted or you can feel free to call for updates.

Called and Accountable

Monday night we started our study/discussion about the book "Called and Accountable". Lesson One (wonderfully led by Jenne) had us thinking about WHY God calls us. We discussed that while God could handle the world by Himself, He has chosen us to spread His word. A really good subject that got us all talking was how are we being called in the workplace. Are we living as Christians at work like we should be?
