Costel Being Treated In Hospital
After Patsy Vick’s return tothe U.S., Costel went to see a specialist about his health – particularly his liver. He has been hospitalized for about a week and today we found out that instead of Hepititis or liver disease, it is an infected liver. He is responding well to the medicine and will be in the hospital for a few more days. When he goes home, he will need 16 hours of rest a day and a a better diet including more protein.
We thank God for this news and we need you all to pray for Costel and Mia as they begin a new phase in their lives — eating properly. In addition to prayer, we need to find additional donors around the U.S. as we need approximately $2,000 more dollars a month to provide proper food for the kids. Patsy Vick and I will be meeting this week to go over all the information from her recent trip to Mia’s Children and I will post the highligts. Until then, please think about names that you might be able to contact or be willing to give us so that we can start speaking in churches and with civic organizations about monthly donations. Small groups of friends (4 or 5 who you can host in your livingroom) is a great way to share about Mia. We will speak to one person or 5,000. Please give this prayerful consideration.
Mia’s Children is made up of a lot of people giving what they can.
On a final note, we are also in the middle of a search for permanent housing for the mission. We will keep you updated on our progress. I thank God in advance for what he is going to do in this situation.
If you would like to send Costel a get well card, feel free to send it to Mia’s Children, 9245 Poplar Avenue, Suite 8,#380, Germantown, TN 38138. I will collect them and send them in one package on Wednesday, April 9th.
Thank you for your generosity and your prayers!
