Costel’s Progress

Dear Friends,
Costel may come home from the hospital Friday. Our good friend from Iowa, Ed, is going to leave for Bucharest in the next few days to be with Costel and Mia for the next month or two. Ed is retired and has had EMT training and will help with Costel’s care. This will lighten the load for Mia. The children are out of school and can also help. This will give Mia quality time with Costel.

Costel is such a wonderful father figure for the kids. He loves each one and handles them with tenderness and kindness, but with a guiding hand, not too strict, but not too lenient. He is an excellent teacher, tutoring where needed, allowing them to grow and mature.

Special thanks to Rachel, Kay and Mike for donations toward Costel’s medical care.
