Update from China

We received an update on April 2, 2013!  Ellie (Sun Xin Jie) is growing so fast.  She is beautiful!  She is listed as healthy, which is a miracle after seeing her CT scans with hydrocephalus and a hematoma in the lower part of her occipital lobe.   We'll still need to have an MRI done when she comes home, but it is a true miracle.  Isn't she beautiful?  We are excited to meet her!
