Mission accomplished

Hi All,



We have a cute little girl in our hands now. She is absolutely adorable and you all will love her so much. She walked out with a little backpack on her back and clutching a the panda bear in her left hand that we had sent a month ago. She held the hands of another woman in the orphanage who brought her over. It turns out they had brought her back to the orphanage a week ago to prepare her. In her backpack, she had three little tiny little dolls, our camera and pictures of our family (including Tilly, the boys, etc.). It was heartbreaking and adorable. There have been no tears yet and she hugged Heidi and let me hold her. She fell asleep about 30 minutes after we hade her (in our arms). She is very reserved, quiet and I’m sure very scared so please say a prayer. I am attaching a few pictures and will send more soon. This is amazing, God is good.



Love you all,



Mike

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The surgeon just left. He's pleased with the results. They did not have to remove any part of her skull, they were just able to shave down the bumps. They saw the fracture and said that at one time it had gone through the dura, but her own scar tissue had closed up the gap and there was no need for them to repair. So they were able to stay on the outside layer of the skull. We are so pleased. That is what we were hoping for. We can never thank you all enough for all of your unceasing prayers and we can never thank God enough for this big miracles and all of the little ones leading up to this! God IS good.

We're HOME!

We're home and it feels so good. The hospital was excellent, we could never say enough good things about the hospital staff, and our doctor, they were all excellent! Molly is in great spirits and has been up playing for several hours! She had a nice nap after the car ride home, but has been very energetic since she got home. She's very happy, still swollen, but happy. It's great to be back home together as a family and we're more than ready to get into a normal routine. We're still basking in the amazing grace that we've witnessed first hand through the miracles that God has performed. Thanks once more for all for all of the prayers! GOD IS GOOD!

Recovering Very Well!

Molly is doing just amazing! She's recovering so quickly that she wanted to go to her Upward Soccer Awards Night last night. She did great until she saw all of the children jumping on the jolly jumps and wanted to join in! We were thrilled that she felt so good that she wanted to jump, but we had to leave because she didn't really understand why she couldn't. (She has antibiotic cream on her hair, that is why it is shiny) She's not been on any pain medication since we've come home and simply doesn't need it, which is almost impossible to imagine. The swelling is going down quickly and she's almost back to normal. We're grateful to God for what He's done in her life! We're grateful for all of your prayers. God is Good, all the time :-)
