We have to share with you God's great provision! Just a few months ago we were feeling totally overwhelmed as we faced unexpected travel, medical, housing, and tuition costs. We didn't know how in our own strength our costs would be met. Fortunately, God is known for showing His strength when we are unable to do things on our own (2 Cor. 12:9). From gifts from people we have never even met to medical costs being slashed inexplicably, we are just in awe! We believed that God would provide, but it is still exciting to see how things are coming together!
Medical
*Hospital (one night in the pediatric ICU): originally $14,796, we paid $991 (Over $11,000 was written off!)
*Anesthesiologist: originally $1778, we paid $85!
*Cranial helmets: originally $3700 each (totally outrageous for a piece of nylon!), we pay $400 each (covered by a generous gift from an individual!)
*Surgeons: originally $15,600, waiting for insurance to process to find out our responsibility
Tuition
*40% off tuition scholarship
*$1000 grant
*Remaining paid by a generous individual donor
Housing in Dallas
5 months rent: generous gifts from family
Travel
*Initial flights to the States: love-offering from Kelli's home church
*First trip from Dallas to San Antonio, lodging during the week of surgery, and some food costs: Children's Crainofacial Association financial assistance grant
*Return to trip Brazil and future trips to San Antonio for Kelli and Lydia: awaiting costs
We may still some significant unknown costs, but we are confident that God will continue to provide in amazing ways!

YEAH GOD! God's provision is amazing isn't it! I wish we could contribute financially, but with 4 kids in diapers and 2 of those being toddlers who seem to need snacks/meals every hour (or so it seems) we don't have a whole lot left over. BUT, we are covering you guys in prayer, which is just as helpful and something we can freely give! Glad things are working out for you and for Lydia's healing and recovery!
