Our Place Called Home: Farm Day Fun

Teresa "Fang Fang " Bartlinski

Teresa was born on December 25, 2006 in China. She was born with a very complex heart condition. In July 2010, GOD added Teresa to our family through adoption. We have been blessed with 9 wonderful children. Gods grace has woven us together as a family. Upon bringing Teresa home from China we unfortunately learned she not only needed a heart transplant but also a lung transplant. Her doctors feel she would not survive this operation. Please help us to pray for a miracle for Teresa's heart and lungs to be healed. She is a very special little soul who has touched so many lives around the world ...
I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!

Today we spent a fun day at The Days End Horse Rescue Farm Fall event. The little girls and I had fun playing games and riding the horses while Grace volunteered. Our favorite horse is Jinx. He has come so far from when he was first rescued. He is one of the most loving and gentle animals I have ever seen . ( I am not a big horse fan , but because Grace is I am trying to learn as much as possible about horses for her and I actually LOVE this horse!) . Lucy was the lucky one that got to ride him today .

Yesterday we journeyed up to Philadelphia for Teresa's pre-op testing for her heart Cath. on October 7. Blood work , chest x-ray, Heart echo. and 6 minute stress test and she did fantastic! I on the other hand was ready to have a heart attack watching her do the stress test on the tread mill. She ran for 3 minutes and then they had to stop because her oxygen dropped to 55 and she turned a shade of purple I have never seen before!!! She sat down and rested for a while and then wanted to know if she could do it again ! REALLY???? You almost gave your Mother a heart attack and you want to do it again ? Not today .

Wishing, Hoping and PRAYING for a miracle in TWO weeks !
