Gracie came to GSF with many delays. The doctor didn't think she would ever be able to do anything. At 9 months old, she couldn't sit up, crawl or put pressure on her legs. All the things most babies would be beginning to do around her age. A few doctors thought she would progress, but they said she would NEVER catch up, she would always be delayed.
Little Ivan came to GSF at 2 years old. He had spinal TB and was never taken for any treatment before he was brought to GSF. The hump on his back was so big no one knew if he would ever be able to walk. There was a possibility that he had other special needs and delays as well.
When they came to GSF {at different times} we began praying that God would help them overcome their 'disabilities'. Today is a very special day as it is Gracie and Ivan's birthday! Today, we not only celebrate their lives, but the progress they have made! Gracie is sitting up, crawling and even standing with help! Ivan is walking ALL OVER THE PLACE and is copying everything he hears his friends say! They both have such big, fun personalities!
Praise God with us for the milestones these little ones are making and please join us in praying for them to continue making progress. Happy birthday, Gracie and Ivan, I love you!
