New in School

Hannah's health has improved to the point that our doctor has given her permission to attend pre-school. This is huge! For Hannah, who has spent her life up until this point out of breath and mostly lying down due to her heart defect, the chance to play with other kids and be involved in any sort of school is a dream come true!


We know that very soon, she will have advanced past the offerings of our in-house pre-school, but for now she is enjoying learning all the songs the kids sing during music time...

...And learning how to do complicated puzzles with new friends. Victoria has taken Hannah under her wing and is excited to "show her the ropes" of class. We're so glad they've become friends so quickly.

So much more has changed in Hannah other than simply her health... her whole countenance has changed. She is a laughing, smiling, happy little girl, eager to learn and outgoing in new situations. We love to see her unfolding and blooming like this.

  3. It is so wonderful to see how Hannah has absolutely blossomed in the short time she has been under your care. It's a far cry from the little girl that arrived there just a couple months ago. I LOVE seeing that joyful smile on her face and that light in her eyes!! :)

    What a sweetheart Victoria is for taking her under her wing! Friendship is a beautiful thing!!
