Willow at True Children's Healing Home

A willow tree is graceful, with flexible limbs swaying in the breeze. Even the thought of it inspires peace and serenity. Sweet baby Willow is just as graceful and serene. Willow arrived at True Children's Healing Home at the age of nine months.

Willow was born with a severe abdominal blockage. LWB had helped this Willow receive life-saving surgery at a top children's hospital, and now this sweet girl needed some specialized care for her recovery. Recovery from this congenital defect and subsequent surgery is difficult and requires around-the-clock care. Even with the skilled nannies of True Children's Healing Home, Willow's recovery was rough for the first weeks. We were so sad to see her peaceful expressions disappear, replaced by a worried little grimace.

Through consistent medical care, good nutrition. and loving attention of her special nanny, now Willow has regained her serenity. Her wounds have healed, and she has gained weight. She has not only grown to enjoy tummy time, she can now stand independently and loves to ride the rocking horse all by herself. It has been an amazing journey to watch Willow transform from a tiny, quiet infant into this happy, active, little girl.
