February 12

To God be all Glory, Laud and Honor!

AMINA'S SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS!!! By 11:00 a.m. on February 11th, the surgical team was able to report to Amina's mother that her surgery was a success. The surgery lasted a total of three hours, which was shorter than orginally expected. "I cannot describe how I am feeling," said Amina's mother, Maha Mohammed Al-Sumaidaie. "I didn't even imagine this could happen. Thank goodness for everything, and I thank God for all those who have helped."
Amina is doing very well at this point, but is not out of danger yet. Please keep praying for her recovery. She is expected to be in the hospital for the next 10 days and will then spend the next six weeks recovering at her host family's home.

For those interested, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital is keeping a running blog on Amina's story. It is updated every day. The link is provided below.

The correct spelling of Amina's name is Amenah Al-Bayati.
Thank you again for all your prayers and support!
