WAITING AT THE HOSPITAL


Rattanak had his surgery yesterday.  His little heart was repaired and he is doing really well.  We would still appreciate your prayers as he is still in the PICU.  

The host family Chendra (Rattanak's mom) is staying with wonderful host family from Long Beach Friends.  They are also Cambodian.  The host family (Kim and Nara) have taken such good care of Chendra.  Yesterday they took her to the hospital and they stayed  with her from 5AM until really late last night.  They cried with her, worried with her, and rejoiced with her once the surgery was done.  We are so thankful for their support!  Pat and Scott Sward spent most of the day at the hospital as well.  I truly love being around these people who's love for Christ is so evident.  Its truly a blessing.

Here are some pictures from the hospital.  Trent and Diana did a good job of getting Chendra to smile while she waited for Rattanak's surgery to be complete!   I have also included pictures from a shopping day we had with Chendra.  We introduced her to Mc Donald's.  She loved the Big and Tasty!  Also are some pictures for a dinner we had for Chendra and Rattanak.  

Thank you for your prayers!
