Today marks Gabriella's 3rd month with our family. As Uncle Bob has stated, she is a warrior. She has the desire to live, we hope and pray that her little body with endure.

See pic from yesterday-her face is a little less swollen today. The surgeon had told us to expect to see her really sick for 2-3 weeks, but we were not prepared for what we have had to see our beautiful little Gabriella go through. And this the first of possibly 12 surgeries. Of course, no one is sure now if surgeries are the answer. Gabriella is the one who would have to try to endure each one-it is heartbreaking.

If you notice the green frog in the pic-Froggie, as we call him has been with Gabriella ever since Auntie Mel, Uncle Shane and Cousin Maura sent him to Gabriella. She loves him and has smiled at him many times.

Our interpreter/Chaplain told us the other day that FROG in the Christian realm is an acronim that stands for Fully Relying on God, and as you see, this is just what Gabriella is doing. Thank you to the Juedes for sending this little Angel Frog to be by Gabriella's side. We have determined that He will stay with her always. Love to all.
