Dear Dr Susan,

          Greetings from Papua New Guinea! Please, pass our deepest appreciation to Dr. Wu, Dr Wang and all the doctors involved in Malachi��s treatment and therapy. We also thank Liza, the helpful nurses , the driver, the cleaners and everyone who made our stay at Wu medical centre a very memorable and  comfortable one.

         We are so grateful to see much progress already in Malachi. For the first time on Thursday 14th August ,we travelled from Beijing to Papua New Guinea via Manila without any major hiccups or stress. At the Beijing Airport Malachi was a little excited but he relaxed on the flight and we travelled home without any stress or problem. It was actually a miracle for us to see that he was calm, quiet and followed instructions while transiting and travelling on this long journey home.

          He has been settling down and sleeping more after taking his medicines here at home. He is faithfully taking all his medicines without a fight and that's really amazing. We are still looking for a good teacher and therapist for him. We will continue to update you on his development.

         Thanks again and our kind regards and love to you all.       

Maggie
