from kyle and lee ann

So we have made it here. Last Monday the truck loading went pretty well and thanks so much for the help. We visited our families and friends and then we started driving. Very good, uneventful trips. We are not doing a very good job of unpacking, but we have only found one casualty of the move--a plastic pitcher.

We have new phone numbers and a new address and I am working now. Kyle is staying at home looking for jobs and cars, and unpacking.

Thank you so much for your friendships and prayers. We will miss you guys so much.
Lee Anne and Kyle Tadlock

Prayer requests from last week....

Again, here are prayer requests that have come in via e-mail (since we really haven't done any in class).

From Kimberly and Paul:
hey guys, we have another request. this past friday paul's parents next door neighbor, Henry Swann, had a massive heart attack. as of today he is in the hospital and on life support. he really isn't doing very good, but there are little glimmers of hope here and there. he's been my parent's neighbor since i was 8 years old, and they have become very good and trustworthy friends of my family. please keep he and his family in your prayers. thanks so much.paul, kimberly, and ruby

From Erin and Mike:
I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers this week! For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, let me fill you in.Thursday morning at around 2am I woke up with pain in my belly. When Caleb got up we noticed that he was covered in head to toe hives (I knew it was probably strep- yet again). So while I headed to my doctor, Mike was on this way to the pediatrician with Caleb. When I got to the office the doctor sent me over to Woman's to make sure it was not my appendix. After having two ultrasounds and blood work done, we found out that Jonah is doing great and that I was not in labor. My appendix and gallbladder looked good but my blood work showed that I was severely dehydrated . I was kept overnight for IV hydration and to recheck my blood in the AM to make sure nothing was going on. Everything checked out and my doctor is guessing that I may of had a stomach virus. I am doing great, I just feel like I have done a million sit-ups (and yes, drinking tons of water). Jonah is also doing great- kicking and dancing like crazy. Caleb is still dealing with the strep with a low-grade fever and hives. And poor Mike is happy to have a weekend at home.Again, I want to thank everyone that jumped in to help and pray for us. After making one phone call to Lisa, within the hour, childcare for Caleb was lined up for the night! I cannot express how blessed we feel to have friends and a church family like this!
Thanks,
Erin

About Brie and T.C.:
Reagan McKinley Clark weighs 7 lbs. 5 ozs and is 20 ¾ inches long. She was born Tuesday, April 29th.
these updates are from the church daily prayer e-mail:
She is still in the NICU and may be as long as Saturday before they can go home. She has an air pocket…not in her lungs, but just somewhere. It will go away on its own, but could take a few days and that’s why they may be in the hospital longer than usual. The good news is that Brie was just able to feed her and it went very well.
Brie Clark just called…they decided to keep Reagan’s IV in for now, but the are going to let her come into her room in about an hour and see how it goes. She’s eating well and the air pocket is smaller. The air pocket has to be completely gone before she can be discharged so they are still saying both she, and baby, will be there until Saturday.
(Thursday 5/1 3:30 update). Susan (grandma) just called and said that the IV has been discontinued on the baby (Reagan) and that she is in the room with her Mommy. They will, still, probably go home on Saturday. Brie said “Thanks for all the prayers, they worked!”
