When I opened my e-mail this morning there was another e-mail from Eve. I can't thank her enough for taking the time (with a jet-lagged family..) to provide me with this update!!!
Jet,
Megan was very reserved around our family. She watched the boys like a hawk, following their every move with her eyes, but she did not want us to see her smile :0 She was very cute about keeping her smile from us. Now when Amanda walked up, that was totally different. She lit up like a Christmas tree and was SO happy! She laughed and reached out for love!!
She can pick up food and put in her mouth, and she can also bear weight when placed in a standing position. She does not have a lot of strength in her core area, which would really help her ability to be mobile. She receives some therapy at Starfish, but needs more aggressive therapies to help her get stronger. The types of therapy available in China are not the same caliber as available in the US and other countries. One family did donate a small pool, floaties and rings for Megan to do some water therapy. This will be helpful, but she needs a family to love her, provide a consistent routine, and get her started on the occupational and physical therapies she very much needs. She is a precious little girl, and can so quickly see the difference in her surroundings and people around her. She shook her head NO to some puffs that we offered, but happily accepted some chocolate! :)
I am praying for Megan...that she will find her family soon!
Love,
Eve
