  • V.P.--Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you all an update on the Wildschuetz family. First, THANK YOU for all of the prayers and outpouring of support for this awesome family. Bridget and Mike and have been completely overwhelmed by the encouragement received from everyone in their church family. She wants to be able to thank each and every one of you personally at some point!! There is currently $642 in the benefit account set up for Super Baby Faith. I spoke with Bridget's mom this morning and they've been hit with some set backs. They now think that Super Baby Faith may be deaf. Also, Bridget suffered some complications from delivery and had to have surgery yesterday. Apparently, the placenta was not completely removed when she gave birth. She is doing better now. but is still very weak. Bridget's mom was supposed to leave tomorrow but is now going to stay longer to assist Bridget and Mike due to these recent set backs. The last few days have been extremely tough on them as you can imagine. The oxygen situation appears to be the same which means they still can't figure out why she's having trouble getting enough oxygen on her own. None of the treatments seem to be working. They have added rice cereal to her diet because they think she may have aspirated milk. Please continue to pray for this family. They really need some good news at this point. Be sure to check www.superbabyfaith.com often as we are constantly updating and changing the website! Blessings.

Week of Sept 21st 2009

  • TCC Church Family ~
    As you may know, Bridget and Mike Wildschuetz from our church gave birth to baby Faith on September 10th. What you may not know is that Faith was born without eyes, has very small sinuses and is having trouble getting enough oxygen on her own. Faith is being cared for by the great doctors and nurses at the North Austin Medical Center off of Parmer and MoPac. As you can imagine, it has been difficult to stay in Kyle while trying to help care for their new baby girl. They were able to stay in the hospital for five days, but they are now having to stay in a hotel or drive back and forth from Kyle. The doctors have no idea when Faith might be able to go home.....it could be days or weeks. Once they take her home, there is a chance she will need to be on oxygen which is a heartbreaking thought for a new mom!!
    This family needs our help!! I hope that you will join me and rally around this family to lift their spirits and remind them that they are not in this alone very scary situation; we are here for them, and God is here for them!
    First, and foremost, they need PRAYERS....lots and lots of PRAYERS!!! Prayers that Faith gets to come home soon, prayers that she does not have any other developmental delays, prayers for her breathing system to mature, prayers for the doctors and nurses caring for her, prayers for Mike and Bridget to have the strength to care for this beautiful baby girl.
    Also, we would like to try and give them a Visa gift card to help them with the hotel, meals, gas and other expenses they are incurring right now on top of all of the medical expenses. If you can contribute,please drop off your donation to the TCC Offices by this Friday or give them to me or Melanie Barnes at church on Sunday. A $10-20 donation would be AWESOME! Please make checks payable toMelanie Barnes.
    One immediate need they have is for their lawn to be mowed. Is anyone able to do this for them this week? What about next week? If so, please click here or copy and paste the link below into your browser and log that you can do this into the spreadsheet. Their address in Waterleaf is at the bottom of this email. I am trying to get Bridget to let us know what other needs they have like laundry, grocery shopping, etc. I will let you know what I find out. Thankfully, Michelle and Rafael have stepped up and are caring for their dog. That's so great!!
    Once they finally are able to go home and get into a "normal" routine, I would like to coordinate a dinner delivery for them for at least the first two weeks. I will send out another email about this when I find out when they are coming home. Let me know if you are interested in participating.
    CG LEADERS: If you think your group might want to help this family in some way, please forward this to your Connection Group members.
    The last year has been tough for Bridget and Mike. They are from St. Louis and all of their family lives out of town. Mike was laid off recently and has had trouble finding a job in the field he is trained in. Mike's mom is here until Tuesday helping out, and Bridget's mom plans to take leave from her job as a teacher to come help them out. But, eventually, they are going to be completely on their own.
    Feel free to email Bridget words of encouragement or post something on her Facebook wall. I know she would appreciate hearing from you. Her email is at the bottom of this message.
    In case you don't know Bridget and Mike, here is a photo of them along with a great picture of baby Faith:
    Below is the most recent update written by Bridget on her Facebook page talking about the latest report from the doctor:

    Possible that when we eventually take her home she would still have to be on oxygen. MRI results only tell us structure not function as I originally thought. Dr. was not real clear on this. So really we have no idea how Faith will do with learning and development in the future. She is also doing a lot of shallow breathing.

  • I'm being admitted into St. David's hospital tomorrow (today) at 10a and will have to stay 2-3 days. My hip has not gotten any better so, I am having a total hip replacement. Good news is I will be up and walking Tuesday or Wednesday I haven't walked in over a month with any weight on my right leg I've had to use crutches for almost 2 month or risk fracturing my femur. More good news I'll be pain free very very soon too!!!! Samantha

Week of Sept 7th 2009

K.M.--This is the information about the son of our friends in Fredericksburg who died on Wednesday. It's just truly heartbreaking beyond words. Brad was a high school friend of Robert's and also was his roomate at UT. Please continue to pray for this family who is facing this unbelievable tragedy. Robert and I will be attending the visitation and funeral tomorrow. Also, hug your family members and remember how precious life is.

Brad and Sheryl Kott's 13 year old son, Quinn passed away yesterday at 11:30 a.m. in San Antonio. He had a massive stroke on Monday caused by a blood clot at the base of his brain. Apparently, he was complaining of tingling and numbness on his left side before he had the stroke as well as a horrible headache. The hospital in Fredericksburg gave him an IV for dehydration. It was not until he collapsed that he had a cat scan and they found the blot clot. He was then air lifted to San Antonio.
He was put into a drug induced coma, on a ventilator, blood thinners and had a shunt put in to relieve the swelling on his brain. An MRI was done on Tuesday but there was not any brain activity. Tuesday evening, the parents decided to remove life support.
The funeral is scheduled for Friday at 2:00 p.m. at St. Mary's. Quinn went to St. Mary's.


My job is hiring again and some of my old coworkers are reapplying to get their old jobs back. Please pray for my friend R.J., Doug, and Gab, to get their jobs back. The have been through a lot. Please pray no matter what the outcome is that financially they will be ok. Thank you.--Christina H.


Dear Friends~

Please pray for my family's health. We all seem to have colds. Rafe(6) has been sick since last Thurs. And Riley(18 mos.) has had labored breathing on and off today. I am waiting to be able to give him another breathing treatment. My Vance(4) is away visiting family and is also coughing and some runny nose. My husband is on a plane to Florida and is also not feeling well. I feel pretty crummy myself and am concerned for Vance being 4 hrs. away. He sometimes needs breathing treatments and does not have his machine with him. We don't have health insurance right now. And, I am looking forward to seeing every one healthy and strong--Stacey

{Update: Thanks for all your prayers. And to Lasandra, Cole and Nick for helping with my truck!!! Riley was admitted to Dell children's last night for difficulty breathing due to the croup. He was given a steroid to open his airways and is able to breathe. Released at noon. Just waiting for us all to be healed completely. Please pray for a solid night's rest. }

Pray for Alex - just had surgery on his arm. Also, pray for Bridget who is in labor with Baby Faith--MW
