Wonderful news from Shanghai - we have a report today that Finlay's second surgery has been successful. At this stage, it looks like his left ventricle is holding up to the new workload very nicely. We are so hopeful that this will continue to be the case, and that Finlay will have a smooth recovery. Oh, how we look forward to welcoming this little boy home again - not as a child with no future, but as a little boy with the world at his feet! We feel sure there is a family somewhere out there who will one day get to call this miracle boy their own. What a story he will have for them, and how happy we are to be a part of it. We are so thankful for those who have helped with the medical costs for these procedures. You are part of this story too, and your help has given back a little boy's life.
Linda, Finlay's ayi, is exhausted and missing home, so she has returned for a break. Finlay is now being cared for by Peng Ayi. He already knows her well, as she looked after him at Butterfly Home and he is very comfortable with her. Our thoughts are with her as she gets used to a new routine in a new city. It's not easy being far from home in stressful circumstances and we are grateful for these courageous women who love Finlay so much that they are willing to give of themselves in this way.
Please keep little Finlay in your thoughts - his body still has a lot of healing to do and he is continuing to struggle with pain. We also need further donations for the surgical expenses. Contact us if you are able to help to meet this need.
