outta here

we had an up & down (literally!) night.
as more medicines wear off, the fighter in our
little Asian princess comes out more and more.
she can be a mean bear, let me tell ya.
a Starbucks IV would be nice right about now!

her surgeon saw her this morning & was
able to take the tape off her lip.
he said she looks fabulous, which is
good to hear because to us she looks 
as if she's been in a boxing match.
not even kidding.

her left eye is completely swollen shut, & we 
were told today & tomorrow would be the worst. 
she's coping with trying to breathe through her
mouth while sleeping b/c of the nose packing.
she is my hero for sure.
I tell her that over & over.

yesterday as she was in & out of grogginess from meds
she just started praying out loud. I know for sure
she is being ministered to by her heavenly Father
& His ministering angels.

so...we should be discharged after lunch if little miss
fighter will drink for us. please continue to pray for
healing, that the swelling would go down, for peace,
grace & rest. also that the Spirit would prepare Ali,
Erin & Quinn to see their sister looking so rough.

your comments, texts & prayers mean more than you
know. thank you, thank you, thank you.


play dough was fun for...10 minutes


loves having daddy close by
