Very Sad News

It is with great shock and sadness that we bring you this update on our little boy Samuel.

We received a call this morning from the orphanage director that little Samuel died last night.  The shunt he had placed in December malfunctioned.  It is our understanding that it began to drain too much fluid, which ultimately led to him passing in to a coma and dying a short time later.

We are devastated and don't know how to process this information.  We did learn that the Liberian courts had named us his legal guardians before he passed away.  For some reason, that brings us comfort.

Thank you all very much for all of your love and prayers and support during this crazy month in our lives.  It has honestly meant so much to us.

We can praise God that Samuel is no longer suffering!  He is in the arms of Jesus.

I also want to thank all of you who donated financially to us.  We never ended up sending any money to Liberia, as we just received the information on where to send it last night.  So for those of you who did donate, we will be returning that money to you shortly.  Thank you again for you generosity!
