Sifa on Mend!

Sifa is on the mend!

We will go home tomorrow.

This morning about 9AM she turned the corner in her recovery. She asked for a milk shake. ;) She drank it with a straw! Now we can work on taking pain medication orally instead of through the IV. It has been very hard for her to try to drink since surgery. In addition to learning to open and close her mouth and swallowing is discovering her tongue and all of the ways it can move when you can open your mouth.

Thank you soooooooo much for each of you who have prayed for her, read her site, followed her story and shared it with friends. So many people have given in so many ways to make this day possible. From the surgeons, to the meals, to the nurses and techs, the ICS school family, Immanuel Bible Church, the children who made cards and the list goes on and on. Praise the Lord and thank you so much! It took a very big team for such a little girl.

WHAT A BLESSING TO WATCH GOD WORK!

Sifa is treated like a celebrity here at INOVA Fairfax Hospital! Thank you all so much for the way you have taken care of this little girl with medical care she could have never even imagined!

May God Bless You Day. :)
