“I Don’t Mind Waiting”
October 28, 2007 by Jeremy
Hussein and two other Iraqi boys are waiting in Amman, Jordan following the October 9 screening by Israeli doctors, who told us that these children need treatment urgently. We hope to be able to transfer these little boys to the hospital in Israel this week, but until we can do that, they will stay in their latest ‘home away from home.’
When I visited the families again today, it seemed they were feeling more at home. I shared with them pictures of the progress so far that the kids currently in Israel have made since arriving in Israel less than two weeks ago. They asked many questions and I was able to help them see on the pictures as well as explain in person some of the things they want to know about what is about to happen. Ultimately though, I cannot tell them the timing of the travel or of the surgery and the length of their stay. It is with a mixture of thanksgiving for the opportunity and fear of the unknown that they approach our departure to Israel in the coming days.
