The blessing of...

Time.  

Wonderful doctors and nurses.  

Lots and lots of physical therapy. 

 Prayer.  

Priesthood.

These were Evelyn's little fingers at the 2 week mark  after her accident, with most everything trimmed away and cleaned up:






And now, we have this: 






This picture was taken this morning, exactly 4 weeks since the accident.


She's been our little miracle.

In more ways than one :).



**We now have permission to do her physical therapy treatments at home 3 days a week (which is really good because it was getting expensive!) It's gone surprisingly well!  I've learned a lot through the process and I'm now a pro at cleaning and bandaging her wounds.  When we saw the plastic surgeon last week, he was in awe of the incredible healing that has taken place.  He doesn't even want to see us for two more weeks.  The outcome of this accident is becoming more than we could have ever asked for.  We are so grateful!

Oh my goodness....such dramatic results. I've been so wondering how she was doing, so was glad to see this latest post. Natlie, this really is miraculous. So glad her fingers (and mom and daughter) are doing so well.

WOW! Her little fingers look amazing!!! Truly a miracle! I can imagine that the physical therapy would get not only expensive but tiring having to go there so often. I really can't believe how great her fingers look. You and the doctors, etc. have been doing an amazing job!
