Baths are getting a little better

Today was a better day and there were a lot of tears. Annie had her bath at the hospital and cried her way through it. We were blessed by the nurse who did the cleaning super fast and it was over. When it was over Annie looked up at me and said, " I love you Mommy." At this point I was glad I wasn't the "meanie" today. She then heard a baby screaming in pain and said, " Mommy we need to pray for that baby because she is hurting bad." These burns may have hurt her skin, but her heart is exactly the same! Praise God! Greg and I did much better with the cleanings today and are determined to learn how to do this quickly. We were so encouraged because the Dr. said she was healing well. We were a little discouraged because he said what we thought were 2nd degree burns were actually 3rd degree burns. They will continue to watch these areas and see if she will need surgery. We are praying hard that she will heal without surgery. Annie is struggling with a lot of anxiety. She is scared to death of anything hot, scared to go potty, and scared of small insects. All of this is new to us. Please continue to pray for energy for all of us as we are literally exhausted and pray that Annie can learn to reuse her right hand and begin walking on her own. We read every post and continue to be blessed by each of you! Thank you so much!!
