Yesterday evening we treated her wounds and had another tough time but those treatments are getting easier and faster with experience. She got her hair washed and a bird bath afterwards and felt great and slept pretty good overall. She is starting to move around and changing positions at night while sleeping which is good. She continues to have some nightmares so please pray that the nightmares will stop and for little Annie and her sleep at night.
Today is Sunday and we have a day off today from Doctor and therapy visits. The physical therapist wants Annie to use her legs and fingers and not just be sitting around the house all day. Thus, we are excited to be making a visit to a church today just outside of Galveston. Missy and I really need this and are excited about worship today in English. Our friend Keri, who is with us, offered to take Annie into the preschool room at the church and be her personal teacher so we could enjoy the service. Annie is showing more signs of trying to walk on her own but still is cautious and nervous so we are hoping that being in a classroom setting with other kids will help her in her movement and walking.
The doctor told us yesterday that you just have to be patient with burn injuries and wait. Thus, we are doing that and at the same time trying to work with Annie's walking and finger movement in her right hand. Please pray for Annie to get through her nervousness of walking and using her right hand. Pray for us for patience with each other as we are in the waiting process. Our friends will be leaving soon and Missy's parents will be arriving on Tuesday to help out which is a huge blessing. Jerod and Alex are doing well and we are doing our best to keep them from getting bored. Galveston is located on the Gulf so we had them out in the ocean for a little while yesterday.
Thus, off to worship and we will touch base later.
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
