Mich

   
     I'd like to request prayer for Mich one of our children who has been living in our children's home for the past three years. When he came at the age of 9 months he was quite malnourished and had multiple fractures in his ribs and in one leg. Over the next couple years as he grew it became obvious that his bones were very weak. He often had pain and had a couple breaks which were caused by little tumbles or everyday handling; nothing that should have caused normal bones to snap. Even with supplements and good nutrition he didn't seem to heal. We finally realized there was something serious going on and had him checked out by a Dr. who diagnosed him as having Brittle Bone disease. It was such a relief to finally have an answer to the problems Mich
has and we immediately began to search out what we could do to help him. The answer we got was that Brittle Bone is a serious disease and it can't be treated here in the country and therefore should pursue medical treatment in the states.

     Thankfully God already had a family who is very excited to host Mich lined up plus an organisation who is doing everything they can to get him to the states as quickly as possible so he can begin receiving the medical care he needs so badly. Everything seems to be working out so
far but I'm asking for prayer that there would be Dr.s and a hospital who would come forward and be willing to provide the care for Mich free of charge. Also please pray fervently for all the papers and legal matters to flow smoothly and quickly.

Mich is a great kid, all boy!! He loves tractors and trucks and motos, basically anything with a motor! He'll play with his toy vehicles for hours. Mich also loves to play outside with the other boys riding their kiddy car or digging in the sand and gravel. He likes to sing and read books and talk and he really enjoys wearing nice clothes!! Please remember to keep this little man in your prayers!!
