Princess' smile got brighter today which made Elly think that it was the perfect photo op moment with Storytellers Marlene and Hope Kim. This also means that Princess feels so much better! Each dressing change is a pain but she never ceases to let us know that she's thankful for all that we do! Thank you for praying with us!

Good news– Princess is back! But there's also a not-so-good-news, her legs are so infected that they had a tough time getting transportation into town because of the pungent smell that came from her casts. We are thankful that they made it to the hospital despite of all the bumps on the road that Princess and Elly went through. We were able to clean up the wound and change her dressing, which was painful to bear. But despite all of that, Princess still carries a smile on her face, which tells us that she's going to continue to push through this healing process with a positive attitude!

Look who’s ready to go home! Princess got a cute stuffed puppy from some visitors this morning, and a surgical glove from the nurses, and to be honest, she seemed equally excited about both of them! Princess got a green fiberglass wrap on her casts, perfect to get her in the Christmas spirit! We’ll see her back next month, but please remember to keep praying while she’s healing at home.

Superwoman strikes again! Princess had a cast change, dressing change, and hardware removed a few hours before this picture was taken, and she was already asking Ella for some art supplies so she could color. And, praise God, her skin grafts are holding and she’s healing well! Thanks so much for your ongoing prayers, we love being able to give such positive reports about this amazing little one!

Princess is back, and her spirits are as high as ever! We're so inspired by her upbeat attitude! With her casts on, she's not very mobile, but she was content to hang out in bed and play on her tablet. She has a dressing change tomorrow, which will be done under anesthesia. We'll get to find out if her skin grafts were successful, and check on how she's healing. It's a little nerve wracking, but we know God is in control, and with you, our prayer partners and supporters backing us, Princess has a huge cheering section!

We know that this young lady is definitely a Warrior Princess when we see her sweet smile during recovery. Post-op from a major surgery is never easy, but with great support, it's possible. Elly, our medical staff, and your encouragement, worked together to make Princess' healing as bearable as she hoped it would be. In her sweet little voice, she said, "I'm ready to go home today!" It won't be long until we see her back so we can keep an eye on her healing! So, stay tuned as you keep her in your prayers!

Most doctors will go their entire career without seeing a case like Princess’. Dr. Nesty was fortunate to have Dr. Tim to walk and talk him through the difficult process of releasing Princess’ burned legs. It’s such a rare case that Dr. Jun and Dr. Shelley had to pop in just to observe it all. Dr. Tim was excited to use our new skin graft machine, a gift from a donor. Christmas came early for him, and also for Princess, who will spend this year with straight legs at last!
