Anna is continuing to do better in her lungs. She’s still on oxygen continuously, but only a small amount when she’s awake. PLEASE continue to pray for her lungs, they are still weak.
We are just hanging out at home until Anna's lungs are completely better, we aren't taking her out unless it's an emergency.
I often find it a bit discouraging when Anna recovers from an infection. I’m all excited that she’s “better”, but she is still lying on the bed, still not smiling, laughing, looking at us, running around, playing, crying, moving, eating, singing…
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. "Take away the stone," he said. "But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days." Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
Bubba was 3 today! Happy birthday Bubba! He got a really cool space-ship! Wow!
God bless,
Richard

Bro Richard and Sis Lael, just wanted to let you know that you all are really on my heart lately. I think as my little girl gets older and closer to the age of Anna when she had her accident, that it's making me think about it a lot more. I'm just praying that the Lord will continue to strengthen you and encourage you. I can't even imagine the discouragement you go through at times. All I can do is pray, so that's what we will continue to do. God bless you all. The Yeskes
We have dedicatied this week in Bible class to our little annie B! As all the children pray for her we also sing : He's got little bitty anna in His hands! They are ALL believing for a miracle!!! Thank you Jesus for healing Annie B's lungs!! Please continue to give richard and lael a super strength from above as they wait patiently on you! Thank you Jesus for healing Annie B! All our love Joe & kim
Happy Birthday Bubba! 3 is a special and magical age. Thank you Jesus for giving Richard and Lael strength to endure. Thank you for moving in this situation. In His precious Name.
Have you ever thought about how many lives little Anna touches? Through your witness people who never prayed before are praying and those who did have prayed more deeply. Of course you must get discouraged. Many of us wonder how you get the strength for each day, but you do and will continue to do so. God has not yet lifted the veil of this mystery but He will in His perfect time. Meanwhile, those little children are trusting Him to heal Anna and the rest of us remember His promises. May God continue to hold you in His precious arms.
I hope Bubba's space ship will take him on magical journeys.
Bro. Richard - you do not know me, but I have been reading your blog and praying for Anna from the beginning. I just got around to signing up so that I could make a comment. Many people in my church in Sarasota, FL have been praying for Anna as well. We are continuing to pray for her and your entire family.
I agree with the previous comment about the many lives Anna has touched. Your dedication and faith is inspiring. We continue to pray for little Annie's lungs and for consciousness. We know one day she will be whole again. Also, best wishes to Bubba on his birthday. May God Bless and Keep you all.
Richard, Praying for Anna, you, Lael and the rest of the Grylls family. For Anna's lungs, comfort, trust, closeness and peace. Thank you for posting and sharing.
Praise God for the improvement in Anna's lungs and for no more bleeding or trips to the ER. I know it must be hard to look at the "Whale's Belly" as you would call it and stand strong in faith. Afterall, we are but clay. May the Master Potter strengthen you today as he continues to mold you into His image. Only God can give us the Faith to look beyond all that our five senses bombard us with. May that Unseen Faith be your portion today. I pray that God will give you an encouraging sign of Anna's progress mentally. Sometimes we just need alittle reassurance. I know I sure do. I also know that God is always faithful to do this for his children. May the Angels of God minister strength to you all tonight. Thank you Lord for showing us your love for us when we need it most. Your love for us gives us the faith we need to "Just Stand" when we have done all we can. Your strength is made perfect in out weakness. Believing for your Miracle in Anna's life and recovery.
Happy Birthday dear little Bubba. May God bless you with a wonderful and extra special day. After all you will never be 3 again. 3 is such an adorable age. My Samuel loves spaceships hisself.
