Billie is Improving
Billie is the four year old boy who went in for emergency surgery at a Manado Indonesia Hospital due to an obstruction in his bowel. He had come to Portland, Oregon when he was one year old for the needed surgery to save his life and now he was facing the same emergency. So many of you prayed and gave to help him in his latest chapter. Liz Wood made a valiant effort to organize help and monitor his care long distance. She advised the IFC medical staff and organized financial support for his medical expenses.
Esther Scarborough reported recently, “Billie is now out of the hospital! I visited yesterday morning and he was pretty uncomfortable but he did not have any tubes connected. He had not had a bowel motion for a week. I requested his discharge and the doctor agreed. We thought we would have to take him elsewhere for further tests etc to see what was holding up the works. Praise God things got moving and Billie’s bowels are working. he walked into our Manado base! He looks thin but otherwise great. THANK YOU for praying for him”
We are cautiously optimistic with this news. He is improving and that is the best news we have had in weeks.
