Ready for the week in Montellano

This morning, I met Cathy, Carol, the babies and their parents at ASELSI. We chatted a few minutes as we waited for Victor to arrive with his van.

Everyone arrived except Amelia. Her father came to the clinic to tell us that they would not be going. Amelia's grandmother suffered from a bad stroke so the family did not feel comfortable going to Montellano. Hopefully, all will go well with the family and Amelia can go with us in February 2012.

This is Marvin, with his mom. His aunt is on the right side. He had his lip repaired last August and is returning today to have his palate repaired. His surgery is being sponsored by Frank and Evelyn in Morganton, NC.

This photo was taken in February 2010, when Marvin was too small for surgery.

Unbelievable how he has changed. This is him today as he goes to have his palate repaired.

This is Claudia and Bryan, mother and son who both need hernia repairs. Claudia's surgery will be sponsored by the Morganton Church of Christ. Bryan's surgery will be sponsored by Terry Kile.
This is Antonio. His finger and thumb on his right hand are fused together.

This is Anastacia and her parents. She had her lip repaired in February and has returned to have her palate repaired.

Her mom grabbed Cathey for a photo. Cathy works at ASELSI and helps us find children that need surgery. ASELSI has a great milk program and also pays to have the children transported in a van to Montellano.

Anastacia is a pretty little girl. Her surgery is being sponsored by Tom and Freda from Morganton, NC.
When everyone arrived, we jumped into the van and left for Montellano. It will be a great week with a lot of blessings in store for the families. We pray for safety in the roads, every one's well being during surgery and healing of Amelia's grandmother.
