Where's Em??

Miss Olga has taken over a few blogs here in blogland and rightfully so! When a dumpling like Olga takes control of your heart it's hard to say no... it's impossible to say no.


And with her  donations reaching $5,162 already  it's apparent that you all could not say no either, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because God put this sweet in my head and in my heart and in Patti's head and heart, there are now THOUSANDS of people who are aware of RR and ALL the Sweets there.  Jesus used Olga and all of us as advocates for the weakest, and most silent. Because of all of you, thousands of people heard a resounding yell for help and responded without question. Posts for Olga swept through blogland and FB like wildfire. Donations for Olga inundated RR. And soon I am  sure of it, a family will come for her. Olga will have the fairytale ending! She will live happily ever after.  

and it's not over yet! I still have things going on my end that will happen in January for Olga, and Patti has added some more beautiful items to her giveaway, donated by generous people who came forward and wanted to help.

And I think one of the most beautiful things that has happened this week, is Sophia has developed a heart for the orphan. Without me knowing she set up a giveaway on her blog for a little one named Brigita . Now don't get worried I'm not asking for anything. Well maybe just some prayers for Brigita and encouragement for Sophia, but I just have to brag about my girl. She was in tears, her heart was so moved by the outpouring of love for Olga that she searched RR and found Brigita. And again was moved to tears and compelled to try to do something.That is amazing and that is God moving my daughters heart. Can you imagine if cultivated , where this could lead her in life?  I will not discourage her from trying to help another orphan on her own. I think it is amazing that she is plowing ahead with her heart.

And where is Miss Em? Well Miss Em has been doing some super things herself. Just this week SHE decided that she could walk up stairs, holding on to the railing.  She also decided that she could very easily go down the small slide by herself. Just like the big kids do, by grabbing the bar over her head , swinging her legs out,plopping her bottom down, and pushing herself forward. SHE decided that after a year and a half of OT and practicing "putting in" and "releasing the death grip", she could easily take the cap off a jar and put in tiny pom poms , and then replace the cap, and SHE also decided that she absolutely should be eating with utensils. I'm also pleased to announce that SHE decided to do these amazing acts in front of her PT and OT.    Most likely just to see our jaws drop in complete disbelief. I am now convinced my my daughter learns from observing, stores it all up in her sweet little head and uses it whenever SHE feels like it.  






And another miracle! Anyone following Gavin on RR and hasn't heard, he now has a forever family!!!! Gavin was five years old and facing being institutionalized.  He's got the Happily Ever After!!!
