The girls and I would like to thank everyone who donated to Dominick's Angel Tree Fund. The giveaway that I had was scheduled to end on December 10th. Nobody used my link (went through RR) so I have no way of knowing exactly who donated. All donations through RR are anonymous. Please continue to give to any orphan you wish. All money is tax deductible. Yes, there are issues at this time with the adoption ban that has been placed, but we will not give up on the orphans. All money will stay with the child as long as there is hope.
The girls are doing great. Phoebe has grown at least four inches and is up to thirty pounds. Bella has gained ten pounds and is at least four inches taller. Both girls go to school four days a week and are involved in therapy. Last year Bella could not walk or barely talk. She could not feed herself, chew or swallow. Today she walks everywhere and has no qualms about asking for what she wants. Phoebe's self soothing and injurious behaviors have improved immensely. She is the world's best hugger and knows how to turn on the charm. Phoebe's eyes will need a second surgery and if her hearing does not improve, she may need a hearing aide. The future will tell.
Thanks again for loving and donating to Phoebe's orphanage mate. Do not give up on them. We won't. Until they are home....Lisa
