God's healing hand is healing Annie's hand!

I wasn't sure if I should put a graffic picture of Annie's hand on here, but I felt I had to do so, so that I could show you the difference. How can you not believe in miracles, in God's healing power when you see Annie's hand? It is impossible! Greg felt it was too graffic, but we both felt that some of you would be interested. However, some may not want to see it, so we have put it below this post. So, don't scroll down if you don't want to see it! The picture below was taken one week after her accident, and this one was taken today, almost 4 weeks after her accident. A few weeks ago Annie was so scared to look at her hand she had to wear sunglasses to take her bath, tonight after her bath ( which wasn't very fun) she wanted me to take a picture of her hand. I call that an answer to prayer! So, thank you!

Tomorrow ( Friday) we will be heading to Guatemala for our annual meeting with our organization. We are traveling with many of our friends and it should be a lot of fun. We are all looking forward to some time with our team and time to learn from others whom we do not yet know. Please pray for our travels, although it should be a little easier because Annie is feeling better each day, she still has a lot of pain on the parts that haven't healed and that makes traveling a little more difficult for her. Thank you so much for your continued prayer support and your comments, I really love to read them. Annie does too!

We are not sure about our internet availability over the next week so I am unsure how much I will be posting. It could be everyday, or it could only be once in awhile. So, I will do my best! Love you!

A very graffic picture, DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!!

"When will I be healthy Mommy?"

"When will I be healthy?" That is Annie's biggest question right now. She had a great day playing at the park and even going down the slide without any pain! Now, many of you might not think that is a miracle, but to me, knowing she couldn't even walk 3 weeks ago, it really is! She is such a little trooper and tries not to complain about anything. She is stared at because she is American, and now she is stared at even more as people try to figure out why she is wearing this suit. I think in a way it is a blessing because she is used to being different here, so she doesn't really notice them staring. These two pictures were taken today at the park. One is of her on the slide and the other is of Annie with her friend, Paqito.

Yesterday our bath went well and I thought today's bath would go well too. However it didn't go as well. She was back to crying tonight. I find myself wondering when will this all be over. Then I think of all of the precious mamas at Shriners Hospital praying over their children who were far worse than Annie. I find myself praying for them as I know they have a lot longer road ahead of them than we do ahead of us. Many of you have said, "Thank you" to me for writing these posts. This is my way of dealing with all that has happened, my way of journaling and journeying through all that has happened. I thank you for taking the time to write us and to pray for Annie and for our family and just for taking the time to read how she is doing. It really does mean a lot!
