Annalee Grace Sullivan was born on April 7, 2003 and lived the life of a playful, spiritually sensitive, musical child until she was 3 1/2 years old. On January 21, 2007 she suffered an hypoxic brain injury from a seizure caused by undiagnosed Addison's Disease.
In spite--or because--of her physical and cognitive limitations, Annie was a blessing to all who knew her. She died on March 25, 2011, and today stands in the presence of Jesus--completely whole and without disability.

Annie Taking a Stroll!
We're trying something new here. Click on the video above to see Annie taking a walk at school in her Gait Trainer. Step by step, she's making a little progress every day.
Thanks, Gretchen & Terri. :) She's plugging along. Btw, the gal taking the video is her OT, Michelle, and the gal in front of Annie is her nurse, Moira. These ladies are making a tangible difference in Annie's life every day. Thanks so much for your prayers--Jesus continues to heal.
You're the top! You're the Coliseum. You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum. You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss You're a Bendel bonnet, A Shakespeare's sonnet, You're Mickey Mouse. You're the Nile, You're the Tower of Pisa, You're the smile on the Mona Lisa I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop, But if, Annie, I'm the bottom you're the top!
I hope you don't mind, but I showed the video to Anne, the Epi-surg RN (she's my new office-mate) she was stunned! She said, Wow, that's almost a miracle!
Oh wow... just wow! It is incredible to see how far she has come. Praying with you and looking forward to seeing what OTHER miracles God has for Annie!
Oh Jean- her smile- Annie has her beautiful smile back, a genuine smile with twinkling eyes. She knows she's being used by God for His purpose. And . . . good for your boys to call out God's favor on her. I pray that my boys are that insightful when they are teenagers. Out of infancy and onto toddlerhood- those brain synapses just keep connecting. I love keeping up with your family and wish we all had more time together. - God Bless you all, Maurita
Yes, it is so neat to see her walk... but even better yet I think is that you can tell she WANTS to! She does not have the "apathy" (or whatever the correct term is in this situation) that was there before! And she is interacting with you! SUPER SUPER. Yay God! Yay Annie! Yay Jean and all the Sullivans and helpful friends and medical people.
