I dropped by the hospital after work this evening. Sheridan was watching a comedy movie and smiling real big. That was one of the first smiles we have seen from her in three weeks. She was also interested in a strawberry shake from McDonald's. This was also a first. So I immediately ran to McDonald's and brought back the shake. She enjoyed that too although I don't know if she finished it. If she just drank two or three sips of it then that was a big hurdle for her. My sister said she washed Sheridan's hair yesterday and Sheridan brushed the tangles out herself. It's amazing to see her able to do these things for herself once again. Hopefully she will be able to come home soon.

I called my sister when I got home from AM Worship Services. They are being dismissed to come home today and packing up and waiting on their ride. This has been a long hard three weeks for Sheridan and her mother and father. Please continue to remember them in your prayers as they return to their home environment and Sheridan continues her recovery at home. We have so much to be thankful to God for this blessing and that He has answered our prayers.

GOOD NEWS! Our God is a good God, full of grace and mercy! May He continue to bless us all the same, as we bow to His Will!

Thank you so much Mary! The church was so excited to hear the good news this evening. Their care group has scheduled meals for them up through next Monday so far. Also, there was a table set up in the foyer tonight after worship for everyone to sign a big welcome home banner.

Kathy,
don't know if you remember, but my daughter, Hannah, went through something similar the Summer before last. She only had one abcess, but it had to be drained. She was down about a week more after she got out of the hospital. The good news is that she did recover and has gone on to lead a pretty healthy life.
I know it's a rough time, but this too shall pass.
Our loving Father,
Thank you for all of our friends on this board. Please forgive us when life seems to get busy and we dont always turn to you. Right now, we lift Kathy's niece up. Please be with her and her doctors. Please help her to get through this trying time. Please heal her and lift her spirits. I know it's hard. In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
