Little Sami is nothing but sweetness! When I found him today at Sheba Medical Center, he was in his baby carrier looking up at his mother who gazed lovingly at him. How could you not smile at such an adorable baby with big brown eyes and a cute grin? Both times I have met with Sami and his parents, there has been a powerful expression of love among the three of them. Anyone could easily look and see how loved this little one year old is.
It was a delight to sit for a while and hear more about their family, their home, and discuss visits from past volunteers like coworker Ruth (whom they still adore). We also discussed how Sami was medically doing. His echo looked alright, but he will need to be returning on a regular basis for checkups. It is likely he will require surgery in the coming months depending on what doctors see as they monitor him. But, for now, he’s a happy little baby holding the hearts of everyone he meets.
Their family soon went to wait for their taxi to take them home to Tulkuram. We praise the Lord for a wonderful visit, and that Sami is generally doing well. Please continue to pray for him in the coming months as future steps in his medical journey are decided. We commit him into the hands of the Lord!
