Our appointment lasted about three hours which included photos, prescriptions and x-rays, blood work, etc.
The head 'facial' surgeon in all of Burkina, Dr Ouedraogo will be preforming the corrective surgery within the month.
Sanya has been placed on meds to bolster her blood. In addition, there is no morphine to be found in-country. The chief of Medicine in Burkina must place the order and we wait until it is received.
Sanya and her aunt are staying in Ouaga with an uncle, Alain.
The in-country reps of Foundation: A Better Life are Mr. ALexandre Tapsoba and Mr. Bylah Zoungrana. Join me in thanking our Lord for each of these people and for 'Foundation: A Better Life'.
Shattering Darkness is providing food for Sanya, her uncle and her aunt as well as taxi fare and incidentals like tooth brush and tooth paste. When the time comes we will also pay for the bus fare from Ouaga back to the village.
Foundation For a Better Life paid for all exams, all meds and are also paying for the surgery and hospital stay!!!! Incredible!!
When all has been regulated, we will see what designated funds still remain for Sanya.
We may be able to provide some clothing, some long-term nutritional help, school fees.
For our partners who have been captured by the strife of this little girl...thank you! I sat by her today holding her hands and at times holding her in my lap. She was frightened and cried often. I kept telling her that Jesus was with us and He was going to help her and heal her. As I dropped them off, I gave her the equivalent of a dollar and told her uncle it was for her. She was a happy little girl!!
Thank you, each one, for praying! Thank you for standing and kneeling with us through this journey. Thank you for persevering.
