David Update

The feeling is coming back in David's fingers and arm. This is such a blessing! Thank you so much for your prayers.

The skin is healing very well and there are only two or three truly worrisome spots left! It looks like he may have more scarring than originally thought, but we have NO problem with that!!

Made Up Recipe

What do you do when you are bored? I like to cook or draw. As drawing requires quiet and uninterrupted concentration, I usually cook. An almost two-year old does not allow for much uninterrupted personal time!

The following is a recipe I made up on Sunday evening. David enjoyed it and even said he would like to have it again sometime!

Laura's Pork Skillet

4 cubed boneless center-cut pork chops
3 large red potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 finely chopped bell pepper
1 finely chopped onion (or lots of dried onion flakes!)
Rosemary
Black Pepper
Salt
Garlic Powder

Pour 2-3 T of olive oil in a large skillet. Toss in potatoes and pork chops. Season with Rosemary, pepper, salt and garlic to taste. Add onion. Cook until done, stirring occasionally (20-30 minutes on medium heat).

Healing Nicely

Several friends and family have been asking to "see" the burns. Well, I am not much for the pictures below, but these are for you guys who keep asking. It is healing quite nicely! Anything that is red is healing. The pink is new. The brown is old and will continue to peel. He is having a reaction to the medicine (last photo) that is making him itch like crazy. Of course, he cannot scratch because it is too painful! Apart from that, David is doing great!

Other David Update

I thought I would let everyone know that David Best is home from the hospital. The grafts on his legs and hands were successful. I will update more after David talks to him.

Austin Kieff Update

I thought while I was updating that I would let everyone know how AKJ is doing. He is still having problems with his ears. He has been crying most of the weekend and has not slept well.

On a happy note, we have one of the best nurses and friends who has called to check on him. Mrs. Paula is a nurse at Dr. McQueen's office. She is also part of our "ball family" at Zion Chapel. She has been so good to us. We are very thankful for all that she has done and continues to do.

Unless he goes sooner, AKJ has an appointment on 5/22 with Dr. McQueen.
