UPDATE

As you may have heard, our little Tori (2 yrs old) gave us quite a scare on Sunday afternoon. Luckily, she's a tough little country girl, a seasoned adventurer, and under the watchful care of her Creator. After a frantic call for an ambulance, a trip to the ER, and plastic surgery... (overall a 9 hour ordeal beginning to end)... she will be fine. Praise the Lord in heaven!

She was playing in a basement closet when a wall mirror stored in the closet, shattered in her face. She ended up with a pretty big laceration across the bridge of her nose and down each side of her nose. Naturally, it was a terrifying experience for us all.

She ended up with too many stitches to count in multiple layers and will end up with a some scarring. She has a minor follow up "surgery" on Friday morning in order to remove the stitches.

Prayer Request: Please pray that she will not hurt it or otherwise mess with it until it is healed. Susan (8 months pregnant herself) is having a tough time sleeping worrying that Tori will grab at it or even just rub it in her sleep which could rip it open.

Music Ministry
