A couple of weeks ago we heard from Matthew that the Chinese government contacted Xianbei's mother about possibly being able to help Xianbei with her surgery at home in Nanning. It seems that after they all got Visas to come here for her surgery, a government official somehow got involved and made arrangements for her care in China. She had her surgery already and is recovering well. What a blessing! We were not even close to our financial goals to have her come next month - we would have done it one way or another, but it would have been difficult. I'm so glad we agreed to help her - by just arranging to get her here, a door was opened that was closed before!We already have another possible child that is in great need. Somehow Matthew got a letter from a mother desperate for help. Their 18 month old has had one heart surgery, which took every bit of assets this family has, and she still needs two more. Her parents were told that her other surgeries were difficult and expensive and basically to give up. We'll see if we can help her. We have contacted the medical group to see if she is a candidate.

I so happy to hear Xianbei is doing well. I hope that the other baby is able to benefit from POTH. I have moved to South Florida, but since my parents and sister still live in Jax I'll be back often. I always think of you during referral time and hope things speed up soon! Happy almost anniversary! :) Every day that passes is one less day to wait.
Keep in touch.
God bless you for doing this, Kelly! How wonderful!
Wonderful!! I'm so glad. God is looking our for his children and ours too!
