| Anna Grylls update Monday 11pm

We started the hyperbaric oxygen treatment today! I posted four photos, click on “photos” above, then type in “Anna Grylls” and hit “search”, and you’ll see them – the top four photos. Each treatment lasted about an hour and a half - about 15 minutes at each end to adjust the pressure, and an hour of breathing oxygen. If you see the pictures you’ll see how it all looked. We did one treatment starting about 8:30am, then a break while another patient went in, then a second treatment. The pressure was 1.5 atmospheres, i.e. one-and-a-half times more pressure than at sea-level.
Anyway, Anna did GREAT, she was calm and didn’t seemed to mind the uncomfortable-looking collar round her neck! Judy (her nurse) said that the first thing we might notice would be that Anna’s hands would start to relax. Sure enough, after the second treatment her hands were quite loose – she has only been that loose before when she’s sleeping or just after her valium! PRAISE GOD! Although it seems a small improvement, and it might just be coincidental, to see something happen so quickly is VERY encouraging! PLEASE continue to PRAY that God would use these treatments in a mighty way! We give thanks to God that Sis. Liz will be going with Lael the next few days to Wauseon, so I can stay home and maybe get some long-overdue work done.
Our nurse tonight couldn’t make it - her daughter had emergency surgery. PLEASE PRAY for her swift healing!
I also have a special prayer request for Anna’s knees. She has been so stressed, and hyperextending them so much, that we now can’t get them to bend 90 degrees. PLEASE PRAY that the Lord will touch them and allow them to RELAX, and bend back as they should.
THANK YOU for all the comments, prayers, emails, texts, dinners, offers of help, calls… We just don’t have time to respond to every one individually always, but we appreciate them all so much, and THANK YOU for your love and concern for Anna.
Thank you Jesus for healing Annie B!
God bless,
Richard

I am so happy to hear Anna is doing great in the treatment! Remember... nothing happens by coincidence, because it is all in God's hands. We will continue to pray for the manifestation of her complete and total healing. How are you and Lael doing? God Bless you and your family!

I only joined Thoughts.com yesterday and one of the first posts I read was about Anna. I am so pleased that she is doing so well. She looks like she is a real cutie.

I think about you all a lot. I'm sending my prayers and my well wishes to you.
Anna is a doll, I hope she recovers soon.
