Update on Lilly

Sweet Lilly has made it through her surgery, her heart has been repaired and is once again beating on it's own, with out machines. She is in recovery and her parents are rejoicing. I am just awed at the miracle of adoption, as Lilly's life was literally saved by her parents. Congratulations, Lilly!

Good Wishes for Lilly

This sweet little girl was adopted during the same week that Shanna was. We met her family in Guangzhou and went to Lilly's 3rd birthday party in the hotel. Lilly was not strong or well looking when they met her, and on adoption day, they learned that Lilly had heart problems of an undefined magnitude. Since they arrived in the US they have had almost daily consultations with specialists and numerous challenges to keep her healthy. They learned that she has very serious heart defects that need immediate correction. This morning she is undergoing surgery to repair her heart and her family is anxiously waiting for their angel to be done. Please say a silent wish that she will heal quickly under her doctors' capable and loving hands as they do their work on her tiny heart.
