Levi has been us 2 weeks today! Each day he becomes a little less reserved. He has fit right into our family and his transition has been easy. I know all the prayers have helped him transition so well. He is a very brave little guy! He has a very strong will, which I am sure has served him well given his special needs. He had the will to fight. To push on. It has been fun to watch this serious little guy learn to have fun. He is becoming quite the little tease. Below are some tid bits we have discovered about Levi.
Levi likes:
Eating!!
Reading books
Chocolate (not sure he should eat this due to his heart so very limited much to his dismay)
Singing (especially Wheels on the Bus)
Being held
Baths
Drawing
Looking at photos
Play dough
Levi dislikes:
Afternoon naps
Sharing
Our cat (although, he started warming up to her yesterday)
The other kids rough housing. (It has been interesting to watch Levi as the kids all wrestle around and jump on daddy. He goes up and shakes his finger saying, " No No." But they do not stop. He just stands back looking concerned. I can't wait for the day he knows this is fun!!)
I am amazed at how brave this little guy is. To leave everything he knows. To travel across the world with 6 strangers. To trust us enough to take care of him. He, truely is amazing. He is so full of life and joy. We all love him dearly and he is such a blessing to us.
We would like to ask for prayers for him. We began his cardiology testing today. It's not good, which we knew, but still, it's hard to hear it in person. The doctor will have a better idea what needs to be done after a heart cathe is preformed. However, the cathe can not be done until an ENT evaluates his trachea. They need to determine if the can intubate him safely due to tracheal stenosis that was caused by his first surgery in China. Please be praying that the stenosis is mild and he will not need to have surgery on that as well. We have no doubt that God has big plans for Levi. We also know that the Lord heals.
