4 Months ago today...

It's hard to believe that four months ago today we were meeting our daughter for the first time. So much has changed since we received that quiet little baby girl in our arms. It's hard to believe she's the same little girl.

I remember Dimple ( our guide ) telling us " babies be different babies by Friday no worry." I have to tell you I didnt for one minute believe my baby girl would be changing that much especially after her meltdown with her nannies. But she did.

Time has just been flying by since we got home. Reese is doing great. She's had the major surgery, palate repair, and we are just waiting on the day the retainer can be removed from her mouth. It was a little over two weeks ago, and she has finally started to feel like her old self again. ( We sure had been missing the laughter she brings into our home. ) We are praising the Lord for her healing and her adjustment into our home in the USA. We know she's the daughter God had for us and we cant thank Him enough for this blessing...

Check her out then and now...

What a difference a couple of days make....

It has been five days since Reese had her palate repaired and boy has it been a tough couple of days. I hope we never have to put her through anything like this again. She did great and her doctors think everything went well but it's very hard to see your child hurting and scared. Reese went in Tuesday to have a 2 hour procedure and it turned out to take about 40 minutes.


She sure looked cute before the surgery didnt she?


Here she is right after the surgery. It took me and Mark taking turns holding her all night long to get her to rest and relax enough to let the pain medicine work.

And here she is today. It's great to see her active and herself again.
