Princess Shelby Lee and Her Royal CourtThursday, June 18, 2009
A group of girls from Word Warriors, along with their leader, Iris Wellman, visited 10-year-old Shelby Lee in the hospital to provide some cheer and have a “princess day” for Shelby. Shelby just recently underwent fontan heart surgery. Here is what Iris had to say:
June 13th started out like any other day at Doernbecher, until the Royal Court of Princess Shelby arrived bearing gifts and Starbucks drinks to give her Royal Highness. They were greeted by their dear Princess with smiles and laughter and a silly lamb puppet! The girls had a marvelous time visiting their favorite princess but more importantly, seeing first hand that God is faithful and that Shelby is doing super duper! They were able to play with the “distraction” machine and also spent a lot of time with the controls on Shelby’s bed. Hospital beds can sit up pretty high!!!
As you know, Shelby is a Word Warrior and on April 22nd (officially in the presence of her Word Warrior friends) gave her heart to the Lord Jesus. She is now officially a daughter of the MOST HIGH KING –a princess– a royal heir.
We rejoice with her family at how God is working in her life…
