Olivia is in LOVE with the electric wheelchairs and has asked for one many times. But they are really expensive, and since she would only NEED it for a short period of time I doubt we could even get insurance to rent us one. A regular wheelchair is really hard for her because she has limited use of her hands and arms, so she really can't get around it on her own. (which is hard for our little independent girl)
I found a really cool electric chair for sale, but we just could afford it. I emailed the owner and said if he couldn't sell it would he consider donating it to Shriners. Well today he emailed me as he just dropped it off at Shriners and told them that it was for Olivia to use :) I am so excited but haven't told her yet as I want to see her face when she SEES it and can try it. I think I will video it :) It will also be one of those fun things to bring up AFTER her next cast change is completed on the 17th of December. Especially if she has a rough time again. So thank you Ed for making our daughters Christmas :)

Thank God for such gracious people & that Olivia is recuperating nicely!!
Hi -
We wanted to let you know that my friend Stacy and I are starting a orphan ministry for the children in Kaz. We returned home with our beautiful babies in June and July but a piece of our hearts remained in Kaz with the children. Our first big project is a Kaz Cookbook. We are asking all Kaz adoptive families to donate 1-3 of their favorite family recipes to be published with all the proceeds going to charity. If you would like to donate a recipe and for more information please visit www.hopeforkazakhorphans.blogspot.com.
We hope to hear from you.
Thanks,
~Kim and Stacy
