week 1 at home....

Good evening my friends!
It's been a little over a week since Makenzie came home from the hospital. She and Pam are grateful to be home and sleeping in their own beds. Over the weekend she was excited to actually wash her hands by herself! It's the little things in life that make it! She is doing better and her feet are healing. Keep praying about this.

The dog days of summer will soon be here. Things are moving slower, not as many people around, not as much activity going on. The heat of the outside and the long days seem to last forever. It's hard to be 18 and stuck to a wheelchair. It's hard to be somewhat disconnected from your friends and their activities. Pray about this too!

Finally, the biggest issue to overcome is the eating. Makenzie's tummy is very sensitive now from all of the drugs, etc. It's hard to eat. Guts hurt a lot. Please pray about this especially, and that she will begin to get more stregnth. Muscle stregnth will be important in rehab.

Finally my friends, thanks for your continued support. There are doctors appointments tomorrow. Will post things as I hear.
Love to you all,
Mary
