great update.

Sierra is doing as well as can be expected. Actually, considering what she went through just two days ago, she's doing amazingly well.

About a half an hour ago, she graduated from ICU to the surgical floor. She's started some physical and speech therapy today. She started drinking and eating. A full body scan was done late last night into early this morning. At first they said it was clear, then there was some concerns about something on her kidney, so further testing was done, which showed it to be a non-invasive cyst. She's talking, trying to smile. She's still pretty tired, and sleeping a lot, but that is totally expected.

This child of mine.....there are no words to describe how in awe of her I am. Her faith, her strength, her heart, her attitude, her beauty, her love for life is simply amazing.

Now we're just praying for the tumor to benign, which we should find out within the week. This is going to be one heck of a testimony for our family!

Our local newspaper printed an article about her.

Thanks again for the continued prayers.
