Update on Belen

I can't begin to imagine the patience a parent would need to have to wait as long as Pocho and Leticia needed to for the surgery of their daughter. Originally scheduled for 2pm Uruguayan time the surgery didn't begin until 5:30. Unfortunately the surgery was halted after the surgeon repaired a prominent vein he accidentally cut through. After exploring the area they decided that there was too many veins and they weren't certain there was even a tumor.

So now they are keeping Belen in a drug induced coma for a couple days for the vein to begin healing. Hoping to discover the reason for the excessive amount of veins the plan is to inject her with a dye and see where it goes.

Please continue to pray for the family. They are all resting in the Lord but they need our prayers nevertheless. Also pray for Pocho and Leticia's other children, Lucas and Timoteo. Timoteo is one of the six babies born last year and right now is sick with a virus and has a fever.
