Lucy Update~

  • My girlfriend was able to have a dear friend of hers in China call Lucy's orphanage and try to get an update for me. She was able to talk to a woman in the children's unit and ask a few questions about Lucy. Here is some of the information we received...
  • ~"Xuan Xuan has been doing very well. She has normal living routine. She takes formula in the morning and evening, eats most table food. She sleeps well. She has never been very sick. She got some cold and running nose, all recovered soon. She was never been sent to hospital for illness."
  • ~"There are children of her age to live together in the orphanage. They play games, sing children songs, learn to do simple hand work, count numbers, even learn some English words. She is smart, Ms. H said"
  • ~"They received a photo album from her family. the caretakers show her it often, teach her to know Mama and Baba. Ms. H said, "One day I asked her, your Baba and Mama are coming to take you home, are you happy for that? She said, "I miss Mama".
  • We were not able to get updated height and weight, since this information needs to be obtained through another office, but what we did receive was priceless.
  • I feel a little more comfortable now, knowing they have showed her our pictures, and she knows we are coming for her....in just 9 days!!!!

I am so happy that you are travelling soon so your little girl will know the unconditional love of her mama. Keeping you in my prayers as you prepare for the journey of a lifetime!
