Lonia Ermilus, who would have thought. Definitely not her parents or her friends and neighbors, nor Mdme Kiki would have thought we would have been experiencing everything we have since March 2008. It has been a long, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes whirlwind ride. I think you all will agree this is not the same sick little girl we brought from Haiti. Airplane rides, carseats, computers, toys and three big sisters, she doesn't miss a thing.
She loves riding in her new carseat beside big sister Anna Lynn Gates.
She is always sporting a fancy new hair style. Her skin is clearing up nicely. Mdme Kiki is a little partial to her.
Big sisters are plentiful and lots of fun! Ashley and Kelsey Dorce and Anna Lynn Gates know how to fit the bill perfectly. If you are thinking there is a dull moment at the Gates house with all these beauty queens you are very wrong. They all love Lonia to death.
I just wanted you all to see how well she is doing. She is so advanced that we have started her in computer class with Elmo. Miss Beverly is her teacher! And she is doing quite well! Ha Ha Beverly is Dr. Gates wife. She is part of the "Keep Your Sanity " club that the adults have in this house. We do tag team with Lonia between our own girls and homework. Lonia is trying to stand and walk and everything else.
She is healing so well that Dr. Gates has decided to reverse her colostomy tomorrow. I am getting ready to take her to the hospital for prep now. I just wanted all of our prayer warriors to be alert and praying for continued healing. She will be in the hospital until next Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for all your prayers and support!
