Slight Signs of Improvement and Help Needed

I spoke briefly with Shelly this morning and messaged with her real quick this afternoon. The only update I have at this point is that Carrington has not gained any weight, but she has not lost any either!! This is great news. Shelly's phone was dying but she did say Carrington is going to be there at least a few more weeks at this point and that she got a new IV today. Shelly says Carrinton's color is starting to look better as well! These few slight signs of improvement are great news for Carrington but she obviously still has a long road ahead of her.

Shelly mentioned that she is very stressed that they will have to start leaving Carrington alone in the hospital overnight starting Friday (in order to balance family life at home as well I'm imagining). I did ask her if she'd like me to try and get a list of volunteers in the DFW area who would be willing to spend a night by Carrinton's side loving her and praying over her when Shelly and Brian cannot. She said they would love that...SOOOO If you are in the area maybe you can email me (spbasile at hotmail dot com) your name and phone number if you'd be willing to stay with Carrington a night or two. Are there any RR momma's reading this who are in the DFW area who'd be able to help coordinate this? I'm hoping we have a couple RR families in that area who might be able to help out.  I'm thinking anyone who is willing and able to do this could also stop by the hospital during the day sometime when Shelly is there just to meet her so she is at ease. It would be great if we could get group of folks who'd be willing to help out in this capacity.

Remember, if you're able you can donate HERE. The donations will go toward purchasing gift cards for the family for food, gas, etc. in their time of need.

Another way you can help....I'm thinking I can put a little book together for Shelly and Brian to read to Carrington. Here's how it will work. Email me a message/letter/note for Carrington (spbasile at hotmail dot com). The note can be well wishes, a prayer you've been saying for her, a letter of encouragement, a story you'd like to share about how her story has changed your heart, etc. I will print these out along with the comments that are being left on this blog and make a little book and send it to the Burmans.

And here is the angel you've all been praying so hard for! She is more than worthy. She counts. She is God's precious child. She is opening hearts and changing lives already! God has big plans for this little girl!
