This is his final surgery to repair the cleft in his aveolar ridge. The doctor will take bone from his left hip and graft it to fill his hole.
He may need surgeries when he is older, but he is finished for now.
We are so thankful to all the doctors and nurses who have taken care of him. We are thankful for everyone who has prayed and supported us during this long and unexpected process. We are thankful to the Lord, Jesus Christ who has blessed and chosen us to be Nathan's parents. We are thankful that we live in a country that has the most extraordinary health care in the world.
Our highest praise to our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Our hearts go out to the children around the world who do not have this opportunity and do not even have their basic health needs met.
They have never heard the gospel and that Jesus loves them.
Everyday 20,000 children die because of preventable health disease or starvation.
We live in the richest country in the world and yet we ignore the cry of these children.
Easter is approaching and we will celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord. As we read the Scriptures and contemplate our allegiance to our Lord, the question we should ask is the same question Pilate asked the angry mob, "What do you want me to do with Jesus?"
I ask you, "What will you do with Jesus?" What will you do as children die everyday because we ignore their cry.
What will you say when you stand before the Lord one day and he asks "Why didn't you do something? You're an American. I've given you everything!"" What have you done with your life?"
