Fire Update

Granny has more burns than we had hoped. We have estimated she has 20% of her body in first and second degree burns. The burns on her right arm cannot be seen due to the dressing which was changed today. We continue to give all the glory for their rescue to God who directed their escape just in time. The intense heat could be felt at the end of the drive which is 535 feet long.

We have good news to report. Papa can now recognize everyone because he is sporting a new pair of glasses which were speed delivered from Springfield to Piggott via Amanda, his granddaughter. Not even FedEx could have beaten her delivery time. Papa was also able to get key to their Dodge Caliber which was saved by the St Francis Fire Department who did an awesome job on a rainy cold night.

The church and community have leaped to help in many ways. Thank you to all of you for your help, prayer, food and support.

A special fund is available at Jones's Furniture Store in Piggott. You may call them at 870-598-2861 or stop by to give a donation. Another suggestion would be a gift card like to Walmart or any other store.

Hopefully, after Granny's appointment today we will know more on the severity of her burns and the continued recovery process.
