Prayer Request & Adventures in Hair

Today I had the privilege of going to visit a sweet baby girl at the hospital.  She is in process of getting adopted.  She's been sick for a while, but fell very ill over the weekend.  She is doing better, but has a long ways to go.  It's a miracle she is alive today.  Please pray for Baby V, her doctors, caregivers, and the family that is adopting her.

==============================

Tonight I made my first attempt at giving Mercy a hair-do.  Yesterday I removed her braids and washed and conditioned her hair really well.  Tonight, after dinner and a bath,  I put on a very annoying entertaining “Miss Pattycake” video for Mercy and set to work.    I just did little puffs all over her head.  I need to work on my parts.  I don’t think it looks horrible and we’ve all got to start somewhere, right?  Here are a few photos.  This is right before bed, so Mercy was not the most cooperative with the photos.  But I want to remember this first do, so some day when I'm putting in extensions and doing corn rows, I can appreciate where I started.  By the way, the funky, shiny spots are where I had just put spray in her hair and then with the flash it photographed funky, but you get the idea.
