The title to our last post was "Saved from the Web". On further reflection - and in light of the reality of baby girl's condition - we want to be clear that we did not mean "saved" in the sense of a completed action or a destination reached. Because although baby girl is now free of some of the things that were hindering her before, she continues to suffer from the effects of her entanglement... and thus her being "Saved from the Web" is an ongoing process.
More specifically, it has been a difficult couple of weeks for us as we've received some seemingly conflicting reports on her health and the report we were finally able to receive from our agency's doctor confirmed that she has continued to struggle with infections and her low weight is hampering her immunity and recovery... which hampers her weight... and so on...
As you can imagine, not hearing better news about our baby girl's health is very difficult for us, but we know that He has her in His hands. We are seeking wisdom and peace that we are doing the best we can to make sure she is getting good care.
We continue to ask for your prayers for her healing from infections and any other sickness so that she can gain weight and grow stronger. We also ask for your continued prayer for her care from the medical staff and the orphanage staff.
Please also continue to pray for our little boy as well, that he would continue to gain weight, feel love and connection with his caretakers, and that the Lord would prepare his heart and mind for becoming a part of our family.
Our three kids here pray for their brother and sister in Ethiopia every night and today our oldest girl said, "I miss [baby girl]". It was neat to hear her verbalize the fact that she has a connection with baby sister already.
Thanks again for your continued prayers and support.
Our King is Great and He is Good. His Power is immeasurable and He loves you more than your human minds can feel or know.
