Sara's fever broke last night around 7. What a relief! She was fairly comfortable till around 11 when the itching became unbearable.
We thought we would try to relieve her discomfort with other creams, only to have each cream make her scream with pain. Finally, we just covered her burn with a cream and wrapped it. We tried to comfort her. She was screaming and crying the whole time. We called people and asked them to pray. After 20 minutes she mercifully fell asleep. We have so felt the power of prayer and the need of it for our dear little Sara. We covet your prayers on her body. She is so itchy most of the time and it makes her very uncomfortable.
This morning a man that works with a lot of burn patients at a hospital in Michigan came to see Sara. He said her itchness is probably due to all the morphine she got in the hospital, and now those toxins are coming out of her body. He also thought her burns were looking really good. Like they were healing real well. That was a big encouragement to us!
Sandra and Ariana have been doing well. It has been so good that we can all be together as a family.
Pray that Sara would get relief from her itchiness. Also, pray that we can learn the process of wrapping her burns quickly, so that we can bring Sara home....Although, we can't thank the people in this community enought for all their kindness and support they have shown us.
It's Official!
