The Babies Are Ready!!

The babies are ready for surgery in February!  Everyone looked great yesterday and it was a fun day.  For three of the four, it will be their first time in Montellano.  I warned the families how hot, yes hot, it is there...........so no one can say that I did not warn them :)

First, we have Nelson.  He is eleven months old and is looking good!  He will have his lip repaired this clinic and go next year for his palate surgery.

Look at those eyes! His surgery is being sponsored by Beverly and Doris from NC.  I saw Beverly in Winston Salem during Christmas and it is always good to see them from the Lenoir congregation.

This is Brayan and he is one year and six months.  We have been following him for awhile but he needed to gain a little weight before he could go with us.

This is Brayan with his mom and his sister.  Angie from NC, my sister-in-law is sponsoring his surgery.

Santiago is the only child that is on his return visit.  He had his lip surgery done in August of 2016 and will be sponsored again by Frank and Evelyn from NC.  I was also able to see Frank and Evelyn in December........Evelyn is working on getting me some snow next year!

I really like Santiago's spiked hair.  The surgery from his lip has healed so well.

Last but not least is Dillon.......he will win the hearts of the nurses!  Dillon is six months old and will have his lip repaired this clinic.  He is being sponsored by Ava who is making bracelets to sell to pay for the surgery. 

Ava is only seven years old and when the parents heard about Ava, they said, "Thank you!"

We completed all of the paper work today and the parents signed the papers.  Not much longer before we hit the road.

After each consult, we prayed for each baby and family.  We also prayed for the arriving team that they have safe travels. We will leave on Febuary 10th and meet the medical group that evening in Montellano.  It will be a fairly large group, with many people who have been returning for years.  It will be good to work with them and to spend the week together.  Please continue your prayers for all of us!

To God be all the glory!
