Macy's Miracle



     Macy arrived at Shepherd's Field in June 2010 when she was only 8 months old.  She was born with multiple disabilities including a serious heart condition, cleft lip, and cleft palate.  Thanks to Shepherd's Field and the people who give to the medical fund, Macy was able to receive a life saving operation on her heart in April 2011.


     Only, due to a complication, this life saving operation almost took her life.  Five days later, she underwent a second open heart surgery.  With her heart finally repaired, she faced a long road to recovery.  Since she was so weak prior to surgery and struggled to get enough nutrition with her open palate, the doctors feared the worst.  The cards were stacked against her, yet He was watching over her and gave her the strength to fight.  In June 2011, Macy was finally discharged after almost three full months in the hospital, including a touch and go month in ICU. 




     Throughout her two open heart surgeries and three month stay in the hospital, Macy accrued a medical bill of 130,000 RMB (over $19,000). 

     Today, Macy is two years old, four months post-op, and getting stronger every day.  Once she is fully recovered, they will schedule to have her cleft lip and palate repaired. She is a testimony of His unconditional love to the people here. The local doctors are baffled by why someone would put so much time, money, and effort into saving such a sick little girl.

On paper, she is: developmentally delayed, physically imperfect, weak, and orphaned

To me, she is: fearfully and wonderfully made, beautiful, a fighter, and a daughter of the King
