Gran Report

Yesterday Gran got to visit Annie (along with Annie's Mom, of course) and it was wonderful. I think we all regard hospitals, especially CCUs as busy, intrusive places, but you would be amazed at how peaceful and calming it can be to sit beside a new, little granddaughter and watch her sleep -- even with a few tubes in the way. Annie was having a much improved day and that made everyone happy. After a bit, she even woke up so Mom could hold her and Gran could admire those wonderful blue eyes. We also had wonderful reassuring talks with the neonatologist and the nurses. It is so good to meet the amazing, caring angels God has sent for our little girl.

And now for the small world, you won't believe this bit -- as Gran talked with the two nurses in Annie's area, she discovered that both of them had ridden and competed in their earlier days. One nurse even showed us pictures of her first horse. If Gran needed a personal omen, that "all will be well", it was finding that horse people are truly everywhere, even caring for her precious Granddaughter.
