It was one year ago today, Monday July 29th, 2013, when my team was starting our first day at an orphanage in Baoji China. I remember clearly that everyone had gone to their assigned rooms and I was casing the place and getting a feel for what their physical therapy needs were. I walked outside where there was a class of one year olds in baby walkers all tied together (to avoid escapees). I glanced over the sea of black hair and brown eyes and there was the cutest set of dimples I had ever seen. Maggie was looking right at me as if to say, "you found me". I knew in that moment that she was special and the rest is history...
(This was taken the next day when I was working on my computer and snatched her for a screen shot to send Trent so he could see this precious little one who stole my heart)
We have had several good days in a row now. Every day she seems a little bit better and a little more functional. They postponed our MRI until Thursday because CV Anesthesia is no longer available tomorrow. That then postpones when we can start on the rehab floor. It is a bit frustrating but there is really nothing we can do about it.
Prayer Requests:
1. For the MRI to look BEAUTIFUL. It would be awesome if her abscesses were gone.
2. For continued recovery to her previous functional level.
3. For stamina for Trent and I as we try a new system of switching off every 24 hours.
4. For her WBC count to improve. It is a little low and they are re-testing it on Thursday. I am really not sure of the significance but the infectious disease doctor wasn't pleased with it yesterday.

On my news! So glad you found her! She is darling!
I just found your blog today via google. I have caught up on your time in the hospital - so scary. But there is so much wisdom in these posts from you, your sweet husband, and your wonderful community. I will be praying for you, and I'm so thankful that you're in a wonderful hospital and that she is showing signs of improvement. Sweet, sweet girl.
