No Dr. visit for a week!

Yea! Today after the nurses did their cleanings of her wounds, the Dr. came in and told us that he felt coming to the hospital was becoming too difficult for Annie mentally. He told us everything was healing well and if we continued to do the cleanings at home, we could take a break from the hospital for the next week. There is still one area below her waist that is concerning. The Dr. does not think she will need surgery, however he said it may take 3-4 weeks for that to heal. He will assess that next week when we return for her visit. That was a huge answer to prayer! Annie is definitely having some psychological difficulties due to the stress of her hospital visits. She has started to cry every time she has to go potty and she is favoring her left hand to avoid pain in her right hand. My ( Missy) parents arrive today and we are hoping to have a lot of grandparent time. Annie is really looking forward to this, so we hope to get her mind off of her burns and onto other things. Please continue to pray for us, we don't know how anyone can go through something like this without friends like all of you and a lot of prayer support! God has been so good to us with one blessing after another. One day I would love to share all of these blessings with each of you! Our Internet connection will not be very good for the next week, but I promise to try and post a blog once a day. Thanks for lifting us up to the Great Physician! Love you all!!
