It's been almost exactly a month since baby Solomon was taken to Kijabe Hospital in Kenya for life sustaining surgery. Next week, he's coming home! The difficult surgical procedure worked, he's successfully shaken off a numerous infections post op and has gained enough weight that Dr. Mike has told the family he will be discharged on Monday. We've even found a cheap airfare, so Mom and baby Solomon will be taking their very first airplane ride. Blessings are everywhere, with a local missionary who manages the guest house next to the hospital offering to transport them to the Nairobi airport.
Solomon will face another surgery sometime in 2011, but for now he'll be able to go home and continue this life's journey from the comforts of home with his family.
The Lord is indeed good and worthy of our praise for all the blessings He's provided to this family in Solomon's short life.
Donations are still being accepted to help cover the month long stay in the hospital's baby nursery. Its been wonderful to witness many from the local community here in Jinja contribute to the baby Solomon fund, along with those in the 'muzungu' international community. The family and COG thank you!
