Jasson (Jackson) is the little boy with kidney problems. As you may recall, the specialist said that it will be difficult to get a kidney transplant for Jasson, because it is difficult to find a donor and kidneys go to Dominicans first. The second option for Jasson is a special machine that does dialysis on children. The doctor told us that the dialysis Jasson had been given so far was for adults, and that he needed one for children. There is a special machine for children. This would mean that we would need to take Jasson when we take Dieuferly to the Dominican Republic. Jasson will have to have a special procedure in his navel so that when, and if, we can get the dialysis machine for “children,” he would be ready for that. Of course, our people will need to be trained on the machine, but this is our next best way to help Jasson at the present time. His life is hanging on a branch… We must do everything we can and let God do the rest. Our third child is Lionel, a young teen. His father got angry at him when he was very young, and held his hand in boiling hot water! A burn from boiling water is worse than a burn from a charcoal fire. His fingers are “stuck together,” looking like a “claw,” and he really needs to have them separated and have physical therapy on them! We are planning on all three children going to the Dominican Republic at the same time.
Jesse has a special “Zoom meeting” this evening at 5:00 with the doctors, and we will know more then. We want to thank the Lord for all He has done and especially to Jesse, who is like our own son, for all his love, care, and help to get these children good medical care. We also want to thank all of our partners, who pray for us, and who sponsor these sweet children!!! We love you all. – Bobby and Sherry
