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!

Gemma Rose






Poor Gemma came home from school yesterday completely exhausted. She did not want to do anything . When I asked her what her favorite thing of the day was , she said ...lunch and nap time! That's my Gemma Rose !
She was due for her transfusion this week and her hemoglobin had dropped VERY low . Her little lips were so white.
Today she is feeling much better. It's amazing how a little blood can make her feel energized and ready to go . She will have to go back to receiving her transfusions every 3 weeks because 4 was a little too long .

Hi Ann-
We are bringing home a little one that needs transfusions too! Our Mia has them every 4 weeks. I am not sure what to expect- is there anything we need to bring to China for her? I am going to ask that they transfuse her close to when we pick her up.
Blessings,
Jean
