Happy Birthday Lizzie

Dear friends,

Just last month Lizzie celebrated her 2nd birthday, though with less festivities than last year, it was a very enjoyable and quiet time at home with family and our cg family.

Our little princess has made some progress with her speech - after telling her to start talking before she turns two - she suprised us on the eve of her birthday by softly uttering "MAMA" and "PAPA"! It brought tears to our eyes....

Update with our latest cardiologist visit - Lizzies oxygen saturations are holding, and she is on track with her physical growth and mental development. We praise the Lord, for such a gentle girl - she has her extremely cheeky and mischevious moments too. We are trying real hard not to spoil her, but she has such a friendly and sociable character, that even complete strangers find her hard to resist!

We brought Lizzie to the zoo for the first time, and she enjoyed seeing all the animals up close - the rhinos, giraffes, lions, jaguars, even the giant tortoises.

While we continue to pray for her condition to be lifted, and we recognise and give thanks to the Lord for giving her strong immune system - which has so far proved to withstand even very bad bouts of cold and flu, and she has only fallen sick once this year, recovering on her own within days.

Lizzie loves playing soccer!

Thank you brothers and sisters for your continued friendship, support and prayers.

God bless,
Elaine
