    My grandaughter

    Some will remember my grandaughters accident last winter. Her hand was completely crushed by the track of a bulldozer she fell into. Well shes pretty much recovered. She has most of the use of her hand. Lots of scaring and possibly a couple more operations but its a miricle shes come this far. Im a proud papa tonight as she was just over and told me shes made the junior high school chearleading squad and cheers at her first game tommarow night. I attribute it alot to prayers that came from many on here!!! thankyou again from the bottom of my heart.

    We may be a world apart but our hearts are one when it comes to children. I often wondered how it all went after first reading of it, Great news she is doing well.

    Lloyd, that is nothin' short of miraculous. I'm so very happy for you, her and the rest of your family. You're certainly going to have something extra to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
    I hope her daddy is also healing. It's got to be mighty tough for him too.

    +1 to what Stephen Cohen stated so beautifully,

    Thanks for the update and the opportunity to vicariously share in your joy.

    That is great news and as many said thanks for the update. The power of prayer is indeed powerful. Will continue to pray for complete recovery and use of the hand.

    I couldn't be happier! I was really upset at the time and I believe... there was a Teddy Bear involved in the recovery? I love good news.

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful news! I too believe in the power of prayer. And thank you for giving credit where it belongs. Grandchildren are a wonderful gift, but it sure hurts to see them in pain. I'm glad for you, for your granddaughter and for the whole family!

    I'm very glad to hear that. Healing is a miracle. How is Dad doing? His healing is likely harder.

    Good news is always welcome! Fantastic to hear of a great recovery. I'm sure pawpaw is very proud of her. Bet the physical therapy is tough on both of you. Good Luck!
