Team Minnie Update Tuesday 10/29

I had texted a lot of people earlier today, asking them to pray at 6:00 tonight - that would be about the time when we would get to Landmark and would hopefully get her to drink some of the chicken broth. She drank one swallow, and that was it. She did drink some water - more than she'd drank before. But she wasn't peaceful tonight; she was agitated. I'm not going to lie - this was probably the hardest visit that we've made with her since this journey started. But then as we were getting ready to go home, things took an unexpected turn.

We rang the call button because she said she needed to go to the bathroom. Her favorite night aide Anthony came, and got her situated and put her favorite Minnie Mouse pajamas on her and got her all snuggly back in bed. As we were leaving, Anthony stopped us and said that just before we got there, he was able to get her to take a drink of milk - something she hasn't wanted to drink. He said it was only one drink, but that's more milk than she had yesterday, or the day before, or the day before, etc. Then he really hit us with some intel - he said that just before we got there (around 6:00 - we were running a little late tonight) he got her up from the bed and she walked with him to and from the bathroom. Even though she didn't do any PT today, this is huge progress.

I want to thank my 6:00 pray-ers - because even though she didn't drink a lot of the broth or eat any of the pureed food we brought like we'd wall prayed for, instead she was up and walking to the bathroom. The Lord answered the prayers in the best way for her - I am totally convinced.
