More Delays

Brian and Natalie and Sergei are on the train again having to leave behind Crosby. He is still in the orphanage because there is still no court. He is in a very good baby house and is well fed. He is safe until age 4 years when the kids are then sent to a very sad and horrible place. He will not understand what happened to his daily visits. Because of political issues court is delayed for quite some time. It might be a month or two yet. This will make a third trip for Brian. He has been gone for almost 2 months. We are praying for Sergei's passport to arrive in the next day or two so Brian can get him back to the US and to the hospital. He is six and only weighs 20 pounds and wearing a newborn size diaper. He is at high risk for refeeding syndrome which can be fatal and needs to be treated and checked at a hospital as an inpatient. Sergei is such a joy but he is starting to have a lot of discomfort with his stomach. He also has a shunt that needs to be rechecked. at this time he cannot sit up or even hold his head up but we have faith that he will make a lot of progress once in better shape. Extra time in country and an extra trip has put our expenses above our estimation. We do have a $500. matching grant. we need about $400. more. We have less than 2 weeks to get this matched. You can donate at www.reecesrainbow.org/sponsorharlin  thank you! so many people have helped us out already and a lot of people that don't even know us! We appreciate prayers as well and as soon as we get Sergei home and stabilized, I will post some pics! Crosby update will come when we have some news! thank you all!
