Update on Nathan...

I'm just getting time to write this, but have good news. Friday morning I got an email from a friend in Haiti that Nathan had been accepted by Mercy Ships for surgery.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please the blog post below. He and his grandmother should have arrived in Sierra Leone yesterday and Nathan was supposed to meet with the surgeon today. You just have to wonder what a 10 year old boy who has never flown thinks of on that first airplane ride. Or what is going on in his head as he walks up to a cruise ship to meet with a doctor about surgery. From what information Mercy Ships was given, they weren't sure there was much they could do, but were willing to at least explore the possibility of surgery if for no other reason than palliative treatment. Mercy Ships will do the surgery and recovery for free...what a blessing this organization is to many people. Check out their website at www.mercyships.org for more information. Now starts another round of waiting as we await news of what the surgeon thinks and if Nathan is able to have surgery. I know God has worked so many details out so far, that I'm trusting him to finish this out. Lots of prayers are going up for this little boy all around that world...and I know that prayer works!! Stay tuned for the rest of this miracle story!!
