  I n April Maggie had her last surgery for her BAHA ( Bone Anchored Hearing Aid). It went great and I thought I would do an update on how Maggie is doing   Y ou can see the small black box hearing aid in this picture, It is small, blends in with her hair and has a tiny red light so we can tell that it is on. The BAHA is attached to an abutment on her skull. The abutment is attached to a small titanium implant post that was placed by drilling a tiny hole in her skull.   The BAHA is barely visible to most people and allows Maggie better hearing and more freedom.  We love it !   Maggie did AMAZING during and after her surgeries.  She's such a trooper !   We have seen a big jump in her speech and vocabulary too .   The Cochlear BAHA was Maggie's only chance at hearing normally. So far, it's working great ! We have had some minor problems with it though and I will post on that later.   Lots more updates coming ! Maggie is wearing the Lucky Stars ...

         

     

  G od is so good and I am beyond amazed at his timing ! A family has said YES ! to Abigail. She has a mommy and daddy !! As soon as they receive their PA ( PRIOR APPROVAL) I will share their blog and you can meet this exceptional, sweet and wonderful family. They have already adopted three times from China and have a beautiful large family ( love !). A little background: They had been praying about adopting again from China and specifically an older  child with Down Syndrome. When they saw Abigail's story on my blog they asked their agency to find her file and started praying.  I wanted to share part of the e mail I got from this sweet family : " I am over the moon with JOY!  I can hardly believe how God has answered my prayers of the past weeks for Abigail.  I did not ask, nor plead... I only prayed!  God is SOOOO good!  Abigail already has a Daddy that cries when he says her name!  (Although we call her Abby around here!) :-)    Our a...

Senokai čia buvau. Berods užsimiršau, o gal jau ir susitaikiau pati su savimi, su savo gyvenimu, ir tuo kas (ne)vyksta mano gyvenime. Iš dalies matyt bijojau atklysti vėl čia, bijojau prisiminti. Aš ir taip prisimenu, viską , beveik kasdien ir tai truputį slegia, bet čia tik vasaris ir jo prisiminimai, ateis pavasaris ir kartu su šūdais nuplauks visas mano nerimas, nepasitenkinimas. Sapnavau visko daug ir keisto, bet atsimenu epizodą : Aš bute vyksta vakarėlis mano V. nueina į vonią aš kažką veikiu virtuvėje staiga įeina V.k. ir puola prie manęs kažką sako bučiuoja mane vėl sako omg aš jam patinku bet tuoj išeis mano V. ir viską pamatys puolu į paniką nes seniai nusižiūrėjau V.k. bet negaliu palikti V....tiesą pasakius neįsivaizdavau ką turėčiau daryti bet puikiai atsimenu kad meldžiausi,kad tik tai būtu tikra,kad tik būtų... Tada,žinoma, išbudau. Na ką jau padarysi, tokie išdavikiški tie sapnai. Rašau diplominį ir susidūriau akis į akį su soulboxu.O soulboxas,nepaisant to vieno menko ...

  W e finally had some sunshine today and Maggie has been begging to play outside.   S he wanted to try out all her riding toys.   The pink scooter, red plasma car, red trike and princess bike were all put to a test run.   B ut, the pink scooter won.  It's more like "the big kids" and Maggie is all about being a big kid nowadays.   W hat did Maggie wear ?  Pink glasses on a band with velcro ( love !), Pink cashmere scarf thrifted from her mom's closet, Matilda Jane dress ( Serenity Ballet Dress ), jeggings and Uggs.    T he girls got skill too ! She loves riding her bike and is so good with her balance on the scooter too.   I was a little shocked she could ride so well with all her major inner ear issues. But Maggie is one determined little girl.      

A bigail has been returned to her foster mom . We are praising God that she only spent a little time away from her foster home and was such a comfort to the other children at the orphanage. I am not sure of all the details, but am thankful for whoever saw that Abigail was very loved and taken care of in her foster home.  P lease continue to pray for a forever family for Abigail.
