This is Nye- he has hydrocephalus and needs a shunt put in his head. We along with a few other organizations have worked diligently for 5 months to advocate and obtain him a medical visa so that he could come here for free medical care. Apparently another child was taken out of country for medical care and not returned and so that along with the controversy over adoptions caused the ministry of health and of justice to cautiously allow him to go. I met Nye in October of last year while in Liberia and he has slowly gotten sicker. It is great news (thank-you for the prayers for him) that he will receive the much needed help he deserves. Nye will return back to his foster mom who loves him dearly after he is better. We expect he will be in the states 4-6 months. Helping children with medical visa's is part of what Global Orphan Outreach does with their medical outreach project.
YES! Is there anything I/we can do for him while he's in the states? We'll keep praying.
