YOU'VE COME SUCH A LONG WAY BABY!

AND MORE RECENTLY






I'M POSTING SOME OF THE EARLY PICTURES OF OUR PRECIOUS QUYNH...

SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE EASIEST TO LOOK AT.

THEY ARE A ENORMOUS REMINDER OF WHAT A HUGE MIRACLE HER LIFE IS....
AND WHAT A JOY IT HAS BEEN TO BE PART OF THAT MIRACLE.

IT STARTED AS A MIDNIGHT CALL FROM VIETNAM ABOUT A VERY, VERY SICK BABY,

AND ....NOW THAT SAME LITTLE GAL IS PRETTY MUCH THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP AT OUR HOUSE.

WE DON'T SHOW MANY PICTURES OF HER FOOT...BUT TWO YEARS AGO ON A WINTER DAY SIMILAR TO THIS, WE CHOSE AMPUTATION FOR HER BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE, WEIGHT, AND TROUBLESOME DEFORMITIES.

I REMEMBER CLEARLY THAT ON THAT DAY, MARVIN AND I PRAYED AND THANKED GOD THAT HER FOOT HAD SERVED HER SO WELL TO THAT POINT.

DUE TO HER SEVERE DIFFERENCES, WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT OUR HUMANITARIAN AID ORGANIZATION WAS CHOSEN TO BE CALLED ...

INSTEAD OF AN ORPHANAGE IN VN FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN, WHERE DESPITE THEIR BEST, THIS BRIGHT LITTLE GAL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEET HER SHARP LITTLE MIND'S POTENTIAL.

THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR CONSTANT PROTECTION OF HER.

AND NOW, WE HAVE NEW PRAYER REQUESTS AS WE JOURNEY BACK THIS WEEK TO AR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FOR HER CHECKUPS,AND FOR HER TEAM TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT TWO NEW MASSES GROWING IN HER BELLY.:(

THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE DANGEROUS, JUST WORRISOME, AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE REMOVED. WE EXPECT SURGERIES ON THURSDAY.

WE GO ON WEDNESDAY , AND OUR HOPE IS FOR SOME ANSWERS VIA MRI AND EXAMS BY HER SPECIALISTS. WE WILL ALSO TAKE X-RAYS OF HER HIPS AND LEGS SO WE CAN HAVE THE MOST EXACTING NUMBERS WE CAN FOR HER SPECIALTY ORTHOTICS TO EVEN HER LEG LENGTHS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING HEARTS IN THANKS AND PRAYER WITH US FOR QUYNH!
