A Special Gift

Whitney (4:25 pm PST, Tuesday, 5/24/22)

The anticipation of Pepper’s dressing change this morning was very similar to that of Christmas Eve. 

Before the beginning of her dressing change I uttered a simple but direct prayer. I didn’t need to hear the Dr. say it. Once I saw with my own eyes I knew, our prayers had been answered. The grafts look amazing! All the grafts have taken up to this point. They all are adhering well and look healthy. The next few days are crucial. Pepper will have sedated dressing changes everyday for the rest of the week. 

All 4 antibiotics have been discontinued at this point. Her appetite is slowly returning. She has no restrictions when it comes to getting up and stretching with occupational therapy. No more bed rest!! 

On top of all of this, Pepper received a author signed copy to her favorite book series last night. Keeper of the lost cities. It was amazing to see her face light up! @shannonmessanger
