Eli after having jiggers removed

 We received news that Eli has been running a fever

They are not certain what the root of the problem  is 

however, their hope was perhaps the jiggers had caused 

the fever. They took him to the pediatrician who recommended

having his jiggers removed immediately.

This is our agency director's husband that has gone over to care for these 

precious babies. Our friends little girls had their feet worked on this

week as well. I was hopeful that they would be able to stay together

however, with Eli's fever and his apparent love for crying :)

they decided to place him in the home of a pastor and his wife

Our agency director's husband and daughter have their hands FULL with

several little ones post op. so this truly was the best option.

We also found that Chloe had surgery the following day ( yesterday) 

and was being sent to stay with Eli in the pastor's home.

We have not heard back from DRC regarding Chloe and Eli but I 

have full confidence that the minute our agency hears, they will let us know.

We can not wait to hear about how Eli's fever is. 

I am struggling seeing this precious baby boy being loved on by someone other than me

after surgery ( how selfish of me!!!) but its the truth. 

How I long to have that precious hand on my shoulder! 

ONE DAY

ONE DAY

I will continue telling myself that

For now, here are his sweet pictures after surgery

 While I may be so jealous that its not me holding Eli...

I must admit I have NEVER been more thankful for someone in my life

Oh, stepping in and loving on my sick boy

What a beautiful picture of the Gospel 

Precious Eli, your mommy loves you! I love you with all of my heart and

can not wait to hold you in my arms. I truly long for the day that I can see you face

to face, sing you bedtime songs, and kiss your precious face. How I love you sweet boy.

Please join us in praying that these little ones feet will heal quickly.

Please pray that Eli's fever will come under control soon

Pray that it was related to his feet and nothing more serious. 

Also, pray that we would accept God's will in all of this and move 

forward in confidence
