Urgent Prayer Request

Many of you may remember on our trip in 2008, the day before we were leaving we were called to evaluate a 2 day old who had sats in the 50s. Our doctors went to check on him but our cath lab team, anesthesiologist and perfusionst had already flown home so we didn't know what we would be able to do. Once they echoed him we realized he needed a surgery we couldn't do in Honduras but we could do a procedure to buy him some time if we could find a hospital in the states to accept him. Lori got on the phone and worked her magic and our wonderful doctors did an amazing job in a very tough situation. Angel then flew to New York, had his surgery and even though he was very sick after surgery and had to stay longer than expected he went back to Honduras and was doing very well. Last year when we were in Honduras his mother brought him back to see us and he looked amazing and was doing so well. Tonight I got some horrible news...Angel pulled a TV on his head. He is in the ER at Cemesa Hospital (where our team is) and they have called neurosurgery but it doesn't look good. Please pray for Angel. Pray for his mom and the rest of his family and please pray for our team. I'll keep you updated. Love and prayers!
