What'snu this week

It's almost 10 PM and I'm feeling a little sleep deprived, but I'll give you the Reader's Digest version on the ch-ch-ch-changes this week. I guess the first thing I'll note is that Annie is always changing--for the better--which is an answer to your prayers. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I really wish I could read all your prayers, and say, "Yes! That happened today!" or, whatever. The other day I was walking around the house feeling good about nothing in particular, and I thought, "I know people are praying for us--I feel it." So, just a reminder...when God brings Annie to mind, and you say anything to Him--He listens and ACTS.

Annie's attention continues to improve. I've noticed that she notices more quickly anyone coming into the living room, and her gaze shifts from person to person quicker too. The stepping and walking continues to improve. When PT Debbie was helping her walk down the hall today, she initiated the left/right thing without prompting, and she was more coordinated than ever before. Funny thing was, though, she didn't want to walk straight down the hall, but she kept pausing to look up at the family pictures.

Also earlier today, OT Beth helped her to hold the water syringe with her right hand, while Annie was moving her right arm up to her mouth by herself to drink. That was cool to watch. I imagine it won't be long before she is eating and drinking by herself. And--another answer to prayer--no seizures since July 4th!

With growing patience--

Jean

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 15:4-6
