Wow! So much can change in 24 hours!
    I went to bed Thursday night thinking Amber and I would be on a plane to
Colorado the next day.  But after Dave checked in with them Friday morning
they said the Finance director vetoed the US evacuation plan.  Instead they
were going to send Amber and I to Paris!  We don't know anyone in Paris.
Evidently there are no Pediatric Neurologists in Delhi and Paris was the
closest option.  So we contacted friends in town familiar with Paris to get
more info.  We found out a low end hotel there costs $200 per night!
Housing and food are out of pocket expenses for us not covered by our
insurance.  We had no peace about this.
    So in the morning, we decided to make an offer to the insurance company.
Would they reimburse the price of the tickets to Paris but we'd fly to
Colorado and pick up the cost difference.  They said they would consider it
but that the man with the decision making power would not be available until
evening our time.  Dave did a great job researching ticket prices and found
a flight to Denver that was cheaper than what the insurance company was
finding us to Paris. He submitted our price quotes and requested that the
insurance company pick up the full price of our tickets to America because
we could do it cheaper on our own than they could to Paris.  It was a
tedious waiting time and last night at 8:30pm we found out they accepted our
offer and will pay the whole cost for us to evacuate to Denver.  So Amber
and I arrive in Denver late afternoon on Monday. Our current tickets have us
returning to Almaty June 13th. That gives us about 3 weeks to get the help
we need.  We'll be staying with Dave's mom in Littleton.  Our phone number
there is 303 904 3673.
    We've been on a ride.  So much emotion, uncertainty, but there's been an
underlying peace in it all.  We've been so very blessed by all the prayer
support here in Kazakstan and around the world.  We can tell  we have been
covered with prayer. Thank you! Thank you !
    Amber still has cough but is in good spirits.  Ruthie is really bummed
not to be able to go to Denver.  She's not looking forward to being apart
from us that long. She's feeling the effects of everyone paying attention to
Amber and feeling overlooked and forgotten.  We need wisdom how to love her
through this as well.  However she has begun to give me a list of the items
she'd like me to bring back for her.  My sweet husband is very tired and
weary.  He has offered his strength for our family in such a God honoring
way, seeking God's face through this whole thing.  I'm so very proud of him
and feel well loved by him.  He needs rest.  Maybe after we leave town he'll
be able to put his feet up for a while!  I feel like I've been stretched by
a taffy pulling machine emotionally, physically and spiritually.  But I have
an overall sense of well being.  I'm tired and looking forward to getting on
that plane.
    Resting in His Arms,
    Wendy Dave amber and Ruthie
