Dear Friends of Annie,
It has been 9 days since Annie's transplant & our Anna Margaret is doing just fabulous (how can she not?!) Our spirits are high today because Annie gets to be moved out of the ICU to spend a hopefully short time on the regular hospital floor. Annie has had a grin on her face for the past 2 days and is non-stop miss chatty! She wants to know all thats happened and hears of all of your prayers and is thankful for each and every one of them and each one of you!
She is still very weak and her immune system is extremely sensitive. They are trying to little by little get Annie to eat to build up her strength, but besides that her progress is MIRACULOUS!!! She is very happy and already feeling better. Her coloring is already getting back to "normal" and her eyes, which were yellow, are now white and bright blue! Annie has a mirror in her bed and will once in a while just check herself out:) She is happy with how great she looks and we all know how pretty Annie is.. she is goregous (on the inside & out!)
She has truly conquered this mountain in her life and we just praise God for the strength given to Annie by Him in order for her to reach the peak of this mountain. Our spirits are high and our faith still burning. Continue to pray that her body just keeps accepting this new liver and that with each day she regains her strength.
God bless you all!

Hi Annie and family.
SO great to hear you have moved out of ICU - big step as you get closer to coming home.
Your new immune system will take some time to adjust to - and that's ok. Do like we did and have little Purell's everywhere - your friends and family will do the same.
I am just thrilled for your progress and cannot wait to have lunch with you again!
Continue to be well.
U go girl...
prayers from Minnesota!!
1 Peter 5:6—he says:
“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due season.”
Annie,
My paryer is that the Lord's Holy Spirit will continue to encourage and comfort you in your recovery.
I heard the voice of Jesus
Say come unto me and rest.
Lay down thou weary one.
Lay down thy head
Upon my breast.
I came to Jesus as I was
Weary and worn and sad.
I found in Him
A resting place
And He hath made me glad.
you are so amazing Annie!!!
We are all praying for you!
