My sweet sister/friend is at the hospital right now. Gwen adopted a special needs little girl that was a burn victim from China two years ago. Her "special needs" was no hair. When Gwen arrived in China to bring her home, she realized that you could see her pulse in her scalp where she is missing hair. Which leads us to present day. Sweet little Maggie went in today for scalp extenders. The extenders that they put in today will eventually be filled with saline to stretch her scalp so they can pull the healthy skin over the part of her head that was so badly burned. Pray for healing and no infection. If it heals well, with no infection, then they will go back in and put in bone over the exposed part of her brain. This is the second time that they have had this surgery. The first time infection was found, and they had to remove the extenders. When I talked to Gwen earlier she said that they shaved her whole head, the procedure went well, and that she would probably swell pretty bad. Pray for Scott and Nana at home with her three other children, and for rest for Gwen at the hospital. You can follow her journey at Oatsvallteam.blogspot.com. Gwen serves the "least of these" on a daily basis. Her heart is bigger than anyone else that I know. It is a true privilege to walk through life with her on a daily basis. There are really no words to express how much Gwen and her family mean to me. let's lift them up sweet friends!
