I am glad that K is sitting up and is now eating properly. Yes, it could have been far worse for her. I'm sure she is in pain and the bruising looks terrible...but she will heal physically...but, it's going to take a lot of love, support and therapy to help her heal mentally and emotionally. I'm sure she has a wonderful support system and you are there to provide the love and support that she and her boys need.
Sending prayers their way.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
