We are 100% reliant and certain of God's sovereignty and healing, therefore have failed to mention the following issues, but would love prayer support from anyone who reads this and follows Christ and our journey to love and serve Him.
1. Pediatric GI: after months on the waiting list we were finally seen by the only group of Pediatric GIs in all of Tucson. Before I could even get a word in edge wise the doctor reached for Taft's belly and claimed "it is Very distended"....well yes, hence the reason we are there. He gave me a host of causes, diseases, medical issues that could have caused his giant belly. He wants to go in immediately and see the cause and issues surrounding it. The surgery is scheduled for Sept 16, next Friday! Praise God for our Doc, the quick timing, his connection to and love for Ethiopia, and a great God who will provide and protect!
2. Orthopedic inserts and leg braces: Taft's therapy team met and after several months of "wait and see" have decided to go ahead and have him fitted soon for orthopedic inserts and super short leg braces that just come a small bit over the ankle. He has basically crushed all cartilage in his feet and his feet look like little meat patties. They believe if we act now his bones and cartilage will correctly take the shape of the inserts and prevent future issues.

I hope that everything goes well for Zeke and Taft. I'll be praying for a swift recovery for Taft.
