Casts are off!

Sergei had his big surgery to reconstruct his hips and release muscles in January this was very painful and my heart goes out to families that have to go through theses things. His casts came off and I thought that he would feel so good. I was wrong. The pain after his casts came off was very intense. We are finally getting to the point that he isn't in constant pain. He still has to wear braces on his legs at nap and night time. Once they are on things are good but it causes a lot of pain yet to get them on his legs.

New adoption moving along. We hope and pray to have travel dates by late spring. We need prayer to get things finished up and that Whittaker is still at a baby orphanage. He is due for transfer to a place that has a very high fatality rate.

Thank you to Pastor Brad and First Reformed Church in Sheboygan Falls for letting us share with a bible study class about the plight of orphans in Eastern Europe. Planting seeds! You never know when one will take root! Please take time today to pray for God's people to be moved into action!

Paperwork

Paperwork is the worst! Trying to finish up and it always seems endless. We have to get a few things redone because now they are almost too old to use. But God's got this and I can't wait until the day we have everything submitted and sit back and wait for travel dates!! In the mean time the poor boys are stuck! We are praying they are healthy and safe and getting enough nourishment. We also have some beautiful horseshoe nail crosses for sale to help with expenses. These can be seen on my face book page under my name, Laurie Harlin. Thanks for prayers and support. Update on Sergei: his casts come off in two weeks!! He will be so excited to move his legs!
