Surgery Update

We sent a message asking if Joel had his surgery and how he was donig. We received a message back from CCAI that was a little confusing. The orphanages response was "This boy is being done the surgery for cleft lip and has not come back to the orphanage" We were really concerned! We were originally told that he was having surgery in June. We were worried that something had went wrong. I e-mailed CCAI, and they said
"Hi Denise,
They always keep children in the hospital for a very long time in China – it’s just a standard procedure. Here, he would have surgery and most likely be home in the afternoon! Also, we do not know when he went in for surgery"

That made things a little better. However, we are still very concerned and praying for our little guy every day.

We will be with him very soon!
