What a difference...

Zhou's heart surgery was postponed several times due to recurring infections. Finally, in June, the surgery was scheduled and she traveled to the hospital to be prepped, only to discover that she had pneumonia. The pneumonia became a blood infection and for awhile, it didn't look like she would make it. Miraculously, she recovered from the infection, survived the heart surgery and was recently released from the hospital

Wen had been through a series of operations, including placement of a colostomy. Surgery was needed to actually reverse the colostomy...she didn't need it anymore because she began to gain weight as her body became stronger! The surgery enabled her to continue to grow and develop normally

***Shortly after receiving Wen's updated information, we were saddened to learn that she passed away. Here life was precious and we hope that the care she received brightened her final days.
