By the way - I can personally attest to the difference -as an outsider can see it - that it made for Elizabeth....

Elizabeth was a much different child this time versus last time. Her arm was very visually different - positioned very awkwardly - and now her arm looks SO normal. If you saw her, you wouldn't really know which arm had an issue. I also believe that since the arm's appearance changed so much- it has changed Elizabeth emotionally in very positive ways. She's so much happier - she's got that sparkle in her eyes. I didn't see that a year ago. I was so happily surprised to see all of this "inner glow" shining through. It gave me a lot of hope for Maia.

one more thing... look at this
