Prayer Update on Gifty

For those of you praying night and day for little Gifty, THANK YOU. I hope you've been encouraged along with us at the amazing progress she's been making, and at the doors that continue to open for her. But the road is still long, with many obstacles between her and the transplant that can save her life.

While she is being discharged tomorrow from the hospital, there is a hunt going on up-country for her aunt. We're not involved in the adoption process at all, but basically the US embassy requires either death certificates for both parents, or else a relative to relinquish custody. In Gifty's case, neither are available. Hence the search is on to find a woman in an extremely remote area--the searchers only have a name to go on, no photo or even a general location!

Please pray for the search--that her aunt will be reached and won't hesitate to come forward. And, as always, please continue to pray for Gifty's protection against infection, for weight gain, and for her amazing caretakers.
