Reagan Joy Sheets

This is an email we received today from my brother, David. We are celebrating and yet praying for this little life! Join us!

"We are celebrating the goodness of God today. David and Bea Sheets are proud grandparents of Reagan Joy Sheets, 8 pounds, 5 ounces, 20 ½ inches long. She was born on January 15, 2006 at 3:08 a.m. California time. We have seen her picture via camera phone. She has chubby pink cheeks. However, we really would covet your prayers on behalf of Reagan. Esther, her mother, tested positive for a bacteria (group beta strep positive, GBS).
A woman who has GBS does not usually have any symptoms of illness or long-lasting effects. A small percentage of newborns of women with GBS will be sick at, or after birth. When a newborn is infected with GBS, the infection can affect the blood, brain, spinal cord, or lungs. These infections can be very serious. The baby may have long-term problems that affect hearing, vision, or learning abilities if meningitis develops. Blood cultures for the GBS test are pending and will take several days for results.

So, you see, we need God’s touch on this new precious life and her parents. We will fly to California on Tuesday, January 17, 2006. We have faith that we will be able to send back answers to God’s faithful touch of healing on Reagan’s behalf. Thanks again for being people of prayer and faith."
Reagan has her own blogspot! www.reaganjoy.blogspot.com
We will keep you posted on Reagan Joy's progress! Thanks for praying!

Hey Judy, people ARE checking out your blog, so keep it up. I check it very often to see if there are new postings, and to get a peak at your lives.

I hope some type of job will open for you soon. I do understand about the "few jobs" . . . the challenge of living in a rural area. Been there.

Your old Aunt Carolyn
