Chapter Four: Two Surgeries Down + Birthday Time

Chapter 0: BW (before Willow)
Chapter I: Invisible Red Thread Unites Us With Willow, Though Separated by 7,000 Miles of Pacific Ocean
Chapter II: Forever Family Together in China
Chapter III: Home
Chapter IV: Two Surgeries Down and Birthday Time


Ouch. But getting better every day (the bandage is bloody; that's not the entire incision)


Getting ready for the birthday party (Willow is napping upstairs)


What are these things?


Nothing is more fun than a metal box that opens and closes.


March 26th: two years old! We can't stand it; she's growing up.


Too much birthday cake ....


You can get a feel for how tiny she is when photographed next to her balloons.


The next day, Willow's bandage was starting to fall off so I put some steristrips over it (she was not happy about it).

Hello, Family!
Today is my first time visiting the website. I arrived in TN on yesterday to spend the weekend with my Mother for Mother's Day. Willow is absolutely adorable and precious. Not only will she be blessed to have you as parents, but you will be blessed by her in so many ways. I'm asking God to heal her in such a way that to look at her a year from now one would question if she had surgery in the first place!! Her life will be a testimony to everyone she encounters along her life's journey. Thank you, Chris, for posting this site. What your family is going through is an example of what true family is. I'm also praying that God will give you both peace that surpasses all understanding and comfort as Willow goes through all of her changes over the next year. Your lives will NEVER be the same again!! (in a good way!)

Sending love, hugs and kisses across the miles!!
