Lizzie

This was an email sent out by my brother-in-law and I wanted to pass it on to everyone. I found it very encouraging. We have a very faithful and awesome God who hears the prayers of His children.

Greetings,

Praise the Lord for his mercies endure forever!

We are overjoyed to share that things are going very well for us! Lizzie was able to come home from the hospital last Sunday and has thoroughly enjoyed spending the last week at home. We were planning on spending another week or two in the hospital for Liz to have a minor surgery meant to alleviate some intense abdominal pain. However, God poured out his mercy upon her and she became pain free. This was just ten days ago, and as a result, she was able to come home.

It has been wonderful settling back into life as a family and not having to drive back and forth to Washington D.C. Samuel and Jacob are also thrilled to have their big sister home and the three of them have been playing together nonstop. Liz still has about 2 years of treatments left to complete, but she doesn't have any more scheduled hospital stays...Praise God! However, her immune system is still weak, and if she runs a fever, she will have to spend 3 days in the hospital for observation. So, we are now asking for prayer that she would stay healthy and that God would protect her from all the nasty little bugs that get passed around during the winter months.

We cannot thank you enough for your prayers, cards, gifts, meals, and babysitting. We have been so blessed by the body of Christ and it has been amazing to watch His love poured out on us. We have started a caring bridge website to post updates, but there is very little information on there for now. You can find it by going to caringbridge.org and typing in Lizzieklier (one word) We will be posting updates there and I believe there is a way to subscribe to the page so that any updates will be sent to your email account. Also, Some of you may know that I am a fan of Toyota Land Cruisers, some of you may not. In any case, I am part of an online community that focuses on Land Cruisers and attempts to give technical and mechanical assistance to folks who need it. One of the other members runs a wine importing business and decided to start a website featuring a variety of wine with Land Cruisers on the labels. For each bottle of wine sold, the owner is donating eight dollars to Lizzie. The wine is from Chile and is pretty good from what I have heard. The site is http://www.grapesurfer.com/cruiser_wines_s/33.htm Even if you are not interested in Land Cruisers, the labels are unique, the wine is good, and the profits go to a good cause. Well, I think that is all for now, thanks again for all of your prayers.
In His Mercy, The Kliers


I would encourage everyone to take a look at the wines. The labels are all very original. They're a lot of fun.
