Dear friends, thank you for checking this blog from time to time and keeping track of Lizzie’s progress. We, as her parents, are most grateful for your constant prayers for her.

We brought Lizzie for reviews with her pediatrician and cardiologist on Monday (and for my colleagues reading this, I was only there during lunch time). Both doctors were surprised by how much Lizzie has grown in the last few months and how much progress she has made in terms of growth and development. Lizzie has caught up with the average Singapore girl her age in terms of weight (12.2kg) and height (86cm). In both categories, she is at 50 percentile (so our girl is just the right height and weight :D). During the visit, the nurses also took blood from Lizzie and gave her vaccination jabs. We were very surprised that Lizzie did not shed a single tear while these happened (this may be a problem when it comes to disciplining her though :P) We thank God for His grace over this child, that despite her condition and what she had gone through, she was able to catch up in growth and seems to be sufficiently resilient. We also want to give thanks for Lizzie’s appetite for solid food, which has been improving (vs 100% milk 3 months back). Given that Lizzie's O2 level is holding well at 82 to 85%, her cardiologist does not foresee any surgeries in the coming months. This is a great relief for us and a big thanksgiving.

"Dear God, .... " Prayer in progress
In recent weeks, Lizzie has surprised us with what she understands and does. For example, she managed to correctly point out each number on her alpha-numeric floor mat when we asked her. She is able to say PaPa and MaMa and has learnt what these mean. Most rewarding was Lizzie learning to pray. She now prays with her eyes closed (with occasional peeps) and only opens them when she hears the word “Amen”. We pray that this little girl will know God in her heart and learn to lean on God.
Lizzie's sincere prayer
We asked for your continued precious prayers for Lizzie as we look forward to miraclous healing from God. We know He is able and we wait for His timing.
God bless,
Lizzie daddy
