Child Recovering in Hospital: Little Girl's Wheel

A six-year old friend of our family came down with a rare disease requiring months of treatment and recovery at Children's Hospital. We gave her a small prayer wheel as she left the ICU. The littlest thing can feel like the greatest accomplishment when you have been ill. Her mother was stunned when she slowly reached out and turned the prayer wheel with her hand. Her eyes followed the animals as they passed. This was the first significant movement she had done with her eyes or hands for days. Her prayer wheel filled with prayers and good thoughts from school friends, family and playmates. Everyday, her parents would also help her write a new wish. It was often: "I want to go home." After she left the hospital she insisted on "sleeping with the wheel" in her bed. Our little gal has since recovered completely. She is a wild girl again--playing soccer, climbing trees.
