| Anna Grylls update Tuesday 1pm

Anna had a good night last night. Thanks to all of you who lifted her up in prayer late yesterday evening! She seemed to recover from whatever happened just fine. Lael is holding her this morning, she is fairly but not completely relaxed. She is getting much better at relaxing when we touch her or move her limbs - there's not so much resistance.
She has another infection in her lungs, so is on antibiotics again. Please pray that this will cease immediately!!!
Tomorrow she has her first trach change, which is done bedside by the surgeon who put it in last week. He basically takes the current one out, checks that the site is healed, and puts a new one in. I spoke with the ICU doctor today, and he said that, as far as they are concerned, she is ready to be discharged from ICU into a ward. So, we are just waiting in ICU for the trach to be changed, and then we should be able to go to the ward, maybe Thursday?
God was so good to me yesterday, I have finally been able to take my burdens to the Lord and leave them there. It's so much easier than taking them to Him, having Him hold them for a little while, then picking them up again!
God bless,
Richard

I'm so thankful to hear that Anna's night became more restful. The devil probably hates all the glory and praise you are giving and all the testimony that you are and decided to give you another dose of "whale's belly" but I'm so glad they are lying vanieties, and the promise never wavers.
Our prayers continue and we anxiously await to see the complete fullness of the promise to come to pass.
God bless you,

I have been praying for peace and strength from the Lord in your lives
right now.
John 16:33 says: These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
This trial you are facing has had many battles, but you have already won the war. (Anna's healing)
A quote from Bro. Branham is in my bible and I refer to it many times.
It says: "God harnesses trouble. He puts bits in his mouth and makes it
obey." What an awesome example of God's faithfullness. HE IS ALWAYS IN
CONTROL.

Praise God! I'm glad to hear she is doing better! The site wouldn't let me log on this morning to leave a comment.
I'm glad her rest is becoming more peaceful and that Lael can hold her more. That is so good for everyone involved!
We are still praying! We love you.

Dear Bro. Richard & Sis. Lael, We just want to remind you that we love you and are believing with you every single day and night! We have a big picture of "Annie B" in our kitchen with a note that says : THANK YOU JESUS FOR HER COMPLETE HEALING!!Although she is on our hearts constantly, every time we pass thru the kitchen and see it we praise him again for her healing! Keep pressing on!!! Satan would like nothing more than to wear you out! We are here fighting this battle with you!!! The so called infection is just a lie!!! She is healed and in the hands and care of our loving heavenly father!!! Thank you Jesus for healing little Anna!
Love and prayers, Joe and Kim Kirchner

Hey remember the ole song the Lafontaines sing...it definitely encourages,"Words and music: Phil Johnson © 1978 BMG Music... "He didn't bring us this far to leave us
He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown
He didn't build His home in us to move away
He didn't lift us up to let us down
There are some promises in a letter
Written a long, long time ago
They're not getting older, they're getting better
Because He still wants us to know
Chorus 2:
He didn't bring us this far to leave us
He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown
He didn't build His home in us to move away
He didn't lift us up to let us down (to let us down, let us down)
He didn't lift us up to let us down
I read those promises in His letter
And now I claim them for my own
Filling my heart and making life better
And I just wanted you to know
Repeat Chorus 2
Never use the word defeat
Claim His promises, every one of them
And every spoken word He'll hear
Because we're everything to Him... Nothing like the ole time gospel songs to encourage the soul.... Stand your ground Bro. and hold fast to the promise... he didn't bring YOU, ANNA, this far to leave you... :)

Dearest Richard and Lael,
I have been reading every update. I'm so glad precious little Anna is doing so well. I am continually praying for a total recovery and thanking God for all He has done so far. Richard, your post is such a blessing to me. Your Faith in Christ and your devoted loyalty and trust in God moves me to tears and makes me want to draw closer to Him. I know you and Lael are a blessing to everyone you have come in contact with. May God continue to give you both strengh and rest. We are praying for your whole family. I believe God has great things for ya'll. You will come through this test victorious. We love you guys. Give Lael a hug for me. Love and prayers,
Jenny McFadden
