Look how far she's come

From this ...










.... a child who weighed only 14 lbs 7 oz, a child who couldn't hold her head up, a child who only wanted to lay on her back and refused to even sit on our laps, a child who cried when we put her on her belly, a child who hated to go outside, a child that looked so frail you felt like she could brake, a child who hated her picture taken.

To this in just 12 weeks ....













... a child weighing 19 lbs 13 oz, a child sitting by herself, a child holding her head up without it shaking, a child that smiles and laughs all the time, a child who loves going outside, a child who loves her belly and is trying so hard to crawl, a child who smiles for the camera.

Thanking God daily for every moment of the last 12 weeks - and how far our precious girl has come.

Note : no news yet on the second opinions, but that's OK because we are having so much fun with Lily right now.

Wow. This post brought tears to my eyes. I followed your journey while you were in China getting Lily. This is such a transformation. You are doing such a great job with Lily and she is just one, amazing little girl. I hope and pray that you receive good news from the other doctors! I think about your family quite often. :)

Lily looks so great. How amazing it must be for her to feel you surrounding her with love and bringing her into the light. Continued prayers for your family as you are on my mind daily as I care for our Lilly. Much love.
