FREE, FREE AT LAST!!!

Ava's free, free at last...free of her splints that is! She is one happy camper today. This is now three weeks post op and her lip is healing beautifully. The three weeks in the splints 24/7 went much more smoothly than I had anticipated...she is quite the little trooper! I continue to be amazed at how well she goes with the flow.





My friend Ann from Florida with Ava

Lip looks great!

Liz- Ava looks great!!
Bless her heart, she is such a trooper!
I forgot to ask you- DID you get to meet Ava's foster family or had she been returned to the orphanage prior to your arrival?
Just wondering what to expect with out little guy in Hohhot.
