03/21 Our dear Annie...

Dear Friends of Annie,

Annie continues to make great strides physically. Annie's heart, kidneys, and liver are all strongly functioning. One of the things that the nurses are encouraging Annie to do is to cough. For Annie coughing is good because it loosens and moves all of the 'crud' (important medical term) out of her lungs. It sounds like Annie without any prompting has done so well with this on her own. But can you imagine coughing frequently after a major surgery? ... yikes! By Annie's ability to cough from the tip of her toes with having such a large surgical incision; speaks boldly to all of us regarding her strong will for her own life as well as her reliance upon God's will. How can you not be inspired by her fighting spirit!

As Annie continues to heal, please pray especially today for her parents; Paul and Jane, and for Annie's brother Ben. They are giving Annie all of their attention. Please wrap Annie's family in your prayers today for their strength as they care for Annie .

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not.
In all your ways be mindful of him, and He will make straight your paths."
-Proverbs 3:5-6

I just read all of these entries and am so happy to hear that things are going well! I do not know Annie well, but through Lifeteen i know the struggles she has been up against. God bless you, Annie. You are loved! Keep it up!

I cannot thoroughly express my happiness for you Annie; your parents and everyone you have so obviously touched with your life.

Who knew when we visited just two weeks ago that my promise to see you "the next time", would come true so soon??!!!

Continue to get strong and be well.

I am anxious to visit again.

Continued best wishes.
