Adoption Picnic

Today we were able to attend a picnic for our adoption agency from the first 2 adoptions. It was fun to see a number of people. Maria did great. She spent most of the time in the stroller but toward the end she really wanted to ride one of the horses. We had Laura ride with her and she really enjoyed it.

Maria is doing great. She is still a bit sore in the neck area from that cath entry but is going full blast. It is amazing how quickly kids bounce back. Thanks for all the prayers. God has been so good to us and has taken such great care of Maria.

Heart Cath over

Well Maria had her heart cath today. It was a long day, the first case started late and went long. We arrived at 9 am and they did not take her back until 2 pm. By 2:55 we were leaving her in the cath lab for them to actually start.

Praise God the procedure went very well. They were done by 4:30 and the Dr. came out to talk with us. Her case is more complicated than we expected but it is treatable. They found a problem that likely resulted from her first surgery but it can also be handled but does complicate things. Her heart is strong and she will be ready for open heart surgery in a little over a month. We are shooting for June.

Thanks for all of the prayers. We praise God for taking care of Maria today and every day of her life. She is a walking miracle and only by the grace of God is she alive. We will post pictures and further updates in the next days.

Maria Heart procedure this week

Please keep Maria in your prayers. She will have a heart cath on Thursday mid morning. This will allow the doctor to check out the repairs done in China and to plan the next surgery here. We are praying that they find her heart strong and all pressures in range so the next surgery can be scheduled. Hopefully she will only be in the hospital 1 day this time.

We will post here and on Facebook when she comes out of surgery Thursday.

Thanks for your prayers.

He is risen indeed

What a wonderful Easter Day. We had a great morning at church and then a wonderful lunch with all of the kids. The girls had a great Easter Egg Hunt in the yard. It was fun watching them have such a great time.
