Sabrina



This is Sabrina. She was born May 20th with severe Hydrocephaly. She has been struggling in Haiti since then while we tried to find a hospital to put a shunt in her. After many difficulties and ups and downs we have finally found an awesome doctor in Indy that will take her on as a patient. Sabrina is missing most of her brain as well as the Hydrocephaly. We don't know her outcome only God knows but she shows lots of good signs that made us feel she needed a chance at life. We finally are getting all the paperwork necessary today to get her a medical visa and to Indy. She will be staying with Tom and I for a while. We are very blessed to have a college student that has been staying with her in Haiti for the last several weeks comming with her. She is going to stay with her in the hospital while she has surgery. This will make things much easier for me.

God has blessed this little girl with an awesome family that wants to adopt her as well! That is a huge answer to prayer. She will stay with us until she is stable after surgery and they can get her put on her insurance policy. We are thinking a few weeks.

Right now she is on several medications and tube feedings. I am used to all this but Tom not so much. We havent had a baby in the house for 9 years! Please pray for Sabrina and all of us that her travel, care, surgery and we all do well with her. We know God is asking us to help and that He will be with us throughout this.

More updates to come!
