Update

Hello everyone,

Aissa is doing very well. There is a huge crowd of kiddos in her ward and just this morning she was singing songs and playing kickball with the whole gang.

The wound care specialists currently caring for her tell me that she is healing well. There is one small corner of her skin graft that has pulled loose, leaving a bit of exposed muscle, but they are optimistic that this will close up within the next two weeks.

In addition to the muscle flap and skin grafting, Aissa's medical team attempted to stitch the outer corner of her affected eye closed. The scar tissue was pulling the eyelid down, exposing her cornea, leaving her vulnerable to blindness on that side. However, the stitches pulled through and the eye opened again.

So this Tuesday the surgeon closed the eye once more and we are attempting to keep the little bird from picking at her sutures.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, both Aissa and Jean seem to be at peace.

Blessings, Sarah
