One Interesting Journey: ON MY WAY!

14 January, 2009

ON MY WAY!

I am leaving tomorrow for Salt Lake City, and then 8:30 Friday morning Delta to JFK to Kyiv! Monday is Izmayl and O-U-T.
I found out that Mattea's heart defect may be VSD- ventricular septal defect- and not an AV canal like we thought. This would be a good thing as it is an easier fix.
She has an appointment with our pediatrician on Feb. 3 and an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist on Feb. 4, so PLEASE EVERYONE PRAY WE ARE HOME BY THEN!!!

YEAH!
Have a great trip, you can call me from once we are in Ukraine just like any other cell number, the rate is different though. Texting phone to phone is cheaper! We will be there one week behind you, perhaps you will be in Kyiv in one week?!? :) Godspeed and God bless!

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own. If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilites across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children."
