Home-movies

Dear friends,

Since the beginning of May, Lizzie has been able to pull herself up to stand next to her cot. She's also been spoon feeding for the last 4 months- and she loves it! Hope you enjoy these videos as much as we did :)

God Bless,

Elaine

About This Blog

This blog is about our baby girl Lizzie, who was born on 9th August 2006 with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a rare chromosome defect also known as DiGeorges Syndrome. This resulted in calcium deficiency and severe cyanotic congenital heart defects called Taussig-Bing anomaly (ventricular septal defect and double outlet right ventricle with pulmonary artery atresia). She underwent surgery on the 25th September 2006 to place a Blalock-Taussig Shunt on her right side. Lizzie spent two months in the ICU, and went through months of intensive physiotherapy. On 18th January 2008, Lizzie had a second surgery for a BT Shunt, this time on the left side. By God's grace she recovered quickly, and was discharged after only four days. Despite all odds, Lizzie has continued to thrive and grow, in strength and character day by day.

Now as the doctors are planning for major open heart corrective surgery, we continue to pray for Lizzie's healing, for strength, and protection, as we trust in God's will.

We first started a yahoogroup back in April 2006, when we first received the diagnosis of our (then unborn) baby's defects. We decided to share our testimony online, with not only our friends and family, but also to be an encouragement to others who may be going through the same situation.
We believe in the power of prayer, and in miraculous healing.
Lizzie has come a long way, and has defied the expectations of doctors and specialists.
We thank God for her, she has been a blessing and a constant joy to us - she is our little miracle.
Our prayer is that, through our testimony, others will not only be encouraged and comforted, but also come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, and find hope in Him too.

To God be the Glory.
