It is a miracle that she is able to speak and move her left hand! What blessed news! God is watching over her and protecting her. He will help her body to heal and will aide her in her recovery. Jessie is an amazing little girl and she will go on to achieve great things in her lifetime. God bless her and your family. I met Dr. Carson at a Grant A Wish event a few years ago, and he is truely a brilliant, gentle, calming soul with the most beautiful hands I've ever seen. His long, slender fingers are incredible and enable him to have such precision. Be confident that you have chosen the best team of doctors in the world to operate on your special little angel. Please give her a gentle hug and kiss and remind her every single day how brave and corageous she is. Jessie is an inspiration to all of us who have read about her story. Your family is strong and will come through this ordeal because you have faith in our Savior who will continue to watch over you and guide you. I will continue to pray for Jessie...<BR/>Lindsay<BR/>Timonium, Md.dootsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037261905986058889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611503146555698525.post-78490894263199511202008-06-12T22:19:00.000-05:002008-06-12T22:19:00.000-05:00PRAISE GOD!
