Update from Ethiopia (Webit)
We got an update today on Webit, the 7 year old little girl who had emergency surgery for a severe infection in her leg after treatment by the "traditional healer" in her village. Click HERE to read the full story. Here is the email we received from our Ethiopia Children's HopeChest staff.
Webit was released from the hospital on Friday and now she is living with Simret, the director and founder of Trees of Glory care-point. She is getting better and will see the doctor on April 13 for a checkup. She also has an appointment on June 2, to hear about the results of the laboratory test on her removed bone which specifies the possibility of cancer. Thanks for your continued prayer and support!
Simret manages the care-point and Webit is getting good care in her hands! Simret cares for the kids at TOG like they are her own. She loves them and when you see her interact with the kids, you cannot help but be awed by the capacity of her love and concern for these kids.
At the care-point, Webit will be getting outstanding care and hygiene for her surgical incisions, as well as prayer, healthy food and clean water. It's an environment that promotes healing at all levels - physical, emotional and spiritual.
Please keep Webit, her family, and the staff at Trees of Glory in your prayers as she continues to recover. And please pray for the results of the pathology labs too. As soon as we have an update on Webit or the pathology report, I will post to my blog. As of today, there is a little over $4000 in her medical fund (THANK YOU!!!!) and we will be notified of the final bill in the next week or so. If additional funds are needed, I will post here as well.

Please continue to keep Webit in your prayers. Pray the lab tests reveal "Cancer Free". We are praying God's healing for this little girl and for her family to become followers of Christ. All praise to our Father in Heaven for HIS mighty works in this childs life.
Angi & Tim
Follow our adoption journey to our daughter- Aerie; whom God brings from Ethiopia, Africa. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20
