I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your prayers, calls and emails for my daughter. She really seems to be doing well with the whole thing. I went down this morning to look at her stitches. I told her they look good and I thought they would heal up very well. She said, “Mom it’s going to be fine.”
We saw the doctor today and he confirmed that the ER doc did a great job sewing her up. We will get to go back on Monday instead of Tuesday to get the stitches removed and begin using menderma. (I am not sure how to spell that) We will then have to wait and see how well it heals before we know if she will need a plastic surgeon.
Honestly, for me the last few days have been an emotional roller coaster. I cannot get the scene from playing repeatedly in my head. At times, I still feel like bursting into tears. I have also been quite fearful. Steve and the girls were late last night coming home from something and I had to call him to make sure they were not in an accident. That is something that doesn’t normally cross my mind. I am sure as the days pass things will return to some kind of normal. If there really is such a thing. I know that fear can be a tool in the hand of the enemy. I also know that God is working in our home and in our Church, so the enemy is active seeking to devour and destroy. Fear and worry are obviously something he is trying to use to get to me.
I have already learned a lot about myself through this, and my own daughter has taught me much about herself and our God.
It is amazing sometimes the lessons we can learn from our children isn’t it. No wonder Jesus said we needed to come to Him like little children. They are so full of trust and acceptance, and faith. Obviously you have taught her well.
Love ya’ll.
I’ve been so impressed by how Aubrey has handled all this. What character! I also wanted to let you know that a few years ago my mom was bitten in the face by a small dog, and her injuries looked very similar to Aubrey’s. We thought for sure she would be permantenly disfigured, but today you can’t even see the scars. I’m sure that as young as she is, her face will heal up beautifully.
