We created this blog to tell the world about our beloved daughter Vitoria, who with acrania and anencephaly, lived with us for wonderful 9 months of pregnancy and exciting 2 ½ years of life outside the womb. May everyone know about her sweetness and tenderness. About her life, humanity and dignity. All the precious lessons learned with this little angel that God has sent us. It was a joy to have her with us. Vitoria still lives in our hearts and it will always be an honor to be her parents!
“But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever”. Psalm 52:8

Moving!
Here we are doing some exercise at home. Even having gone through difficult times in recent months, when we had to stop therapies and the use of orthoses, yet we see some progress of our beloved Vitoria - she has a great desire to move and get crawling!
It is an indescribable joy to help her move!
Sometimes she works so hard, that she ends up tensioning a lot, so we have to stop to rest. We always seek to respect her pace and value each small effort of this brave little warrior.
Stretching on the ball
This is a great way to stretch at home. It is important for Vitoria to stretch her spine to prevent any deformity and the ball is great for this. She loves this exercise in physical therapy, but this day, at home, she was still a little insecure, afraid of falling.
She always gets a little angry and insecure with any new activity, but gradually she ends relaxing and just enjoying it a lot!

Fabio Gabriel
I ask you please to be in prayer for Fabio Gabriel, because there have been some problems after surgery. He was recovering well, quickly left the ICU and was discharged in four days. But the stitches began to be secretive, and on Saturday Fernanda wrote me that all stitches have opened, he had to return to the hospital and remake them. Despite the big scare, Fernanda said he is all the time with a good face. But of course they are all very concerned.
May God give them strength and give the doctors wisdom and discernment to do the best for him.
Around here, our beloved Vitoria is doing well. She spent a few days very angry with her tummy. Things were no longer very well, and after 30 days of antibiotics last month, her stomach and intestine did not react well. Fortunately we went to a good nutritionist who prescribed a diet and a specific treatment to restore the mucosa and the intestinal flora. Vitoria is still not 100% but is improving. Not to mention that the teeth continue to grow - a few - and sometimes I don't know whether she is complaining of teeth, colic, or the dreaded infection. We continue to periodic urine tests, thank God everything is fine.

Peaceful sleeping
Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat — for he grants sleep to those he loves. Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. Psalm 127
