Update on Sophia

Here is a picture of Sophia sleeping last night.

Thank you again for your prayers. They are on the way to Columbus right now. Sophia is still a ward of the state of WV. There will be a court hearing tomorrow. Even though the detective believes the mom's story we are concerned about other charges. The parents were allowed to see her within the last 24 hours. I am irritated because they had to wait for Child protective services to allow her to go to the pediatric burn center. It postponed her getting there for several hours. She is going by ambulance and not health net which is also irritating. BUT GOD has been so faithful. The state could have kept all family from seeing her all weekend and I know God's hand was involved to clear family to be with her. The nurse told CPS (child protective services) that Sophia was doing much better since her family was allowed to see her. She has been eating and alert. We are praying for the mother to be cleared and custody to be returned to a family member (if not her mother someone else in the family). We are also praying for favor for the family in Columbus. The nurse in WV really worked with CPS to help clear the family. Peace for the family. Strength for the sister with custody of the other two girls, Healing for Sophia (that she won't lose her toes which is one of the concerns right now), no infection and finally God to restore this young family and hold them together! I can not tell the percentage of burn because the family is being excluded because she is a ward of the state. It is so hard to be left in the dark because we love Sophia very much.

I have seen God's hand in this situation! Thank you again for your prayers.
