I know she closed her eyes on this one, but I love it....
I called Rachel and had her on speaker phone. Hayleigh's first words were a whispered "Hi Mommy!"
I love this girl so much. Can't wait to have her back home!
Sole to Soul - Shoes for Kenya Kids
About a week ago I wrote a note titled 'What You Can Do' Over the next few days Hayleigh will regain her voice and be more alert. I would LOVE to tell her about the donations coming in to Sole to Soul and how those Kenyan kids who got brand new shoes only to lose them the next day in a big fire will be getting new shoes again. If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to make a tax deductible donation.
Click now on this link to donate:

ReplyDeleteHi Hayleigh - Been having trouble getting this through to you but with Netagene's help hopefully I'll have better luck this time. Just wanted to let you know I've been following your trials and tribulations, thanks to Netagene, and just today found out you're now out of ICU. That is absolutely marvelous. You are a very strong young woman and deserve nothing but kudos for how you've pulled through this awful illness. I'm not a praying person but believe me I'm pulling for you every step of the way. Keep at it sweetie and before you know it you'll be home where you belong ... with your family and new brother. My very best wishes & love, Barbara Gurtov (Netagene's friend who you've met a couple of times at HLAA Cons)
