Emme does not have Spina Bifida.. We found her TC when we were doing a routine MRI for something else we needed corrected in October....<br /><br />We too feel very blessed that she is in the hands of an awesome Neuro Surgeon and his team here in Minneapolis.. I will be praying that Mei Li has no complications and that she recovers beautifully too!!!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Diana (dijorouse@yahoo.com)DiJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997932290038111188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691359220552557780.post-37139487579302419092012-01-20T10:33:39.685-08:002012-01-20T10:33:39.685-08:00Thank you, Jolene!!

You just need to plan to have a celebration with that precious baby boy when he gets HOME!!! :) One thing Mei Li has taught us. . . she appreciates her "family" more than any present we could ever buy her! When she talks of what is near to her heart. . . it's not presents or special "things". . . it is "always" her "e-jiah-run" (family). I believe your son will probably feel the same way. <br />Thank you for your prayers!! I'll pray that you will travel soon!White's Journey to Taiwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818928438087304995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691359220552557780.post-55694636057024477332012-01-20T10:23:03.623-08:002012-01-20T10:23:03.623-08:00No way she is 5!

She is a ball of fire, for sure! :)<br /><br />Mary Beth, she is an angel. Her love for everything new, her warmth and joy of having a family that loves her. She has taught us SO much. We adore her!! I am ready to get this last big surgery behind us!! And, I want to know that she will be able to launch forward, in Mei Li style, to her future without concern of that tumor debilitating her down the road. She is such a little overcomer. . . and she greets each and every day and even these doctor's appointments with a glowing smile. Have I mentioned I'm in love with this little girl??? :)<br /><br />THank you for checking in!!!!

I am so glad I came over to see how your family is doing. Mei Li looks great! She is precious and beautiful. I have thought of her so many times over the last nine months. Her little personality was so cute and bubbly when we met her. I bet she has just blossomed since coming home!Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09783111818696216735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691359220552557780.post-59736500520022003382012-01-07T05:59:37.999-08:002012-01-07T05:59:37.999-08:00Good luck, Anna Grace!

Some of the parents I work with have had success entertaining their kids with the following: DVD's, hand held games, play-doh, coloring books, over the door/chair basketball goals, bubbles, balloons, tons of books, special food treats. Good luck you your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691359220552557780.post-21775906916660255522012-01-06T16:51:48.658-08:002012-01-06T16:51:48.658-08:00Precious words!Precious words!Lancepatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588373383836893283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691359220552557780.post-73442726613216518892011-12-29T15:39:54.896-08:002011-12-29T15:39:54.896-08:00So thankful Mei Li will have her surgery soon and ...So thankful Mei Li will have her surgery soon and that she is HERE to have it with her mama and daddy and sister by her side to care for her.<br /><br />What a blessing she is!<br /><br />Day 14...no TA.
