Yesterday I went to the capital, Tegucigalpa, with Marlon and his parents. This was one of his last appointments in Tegus before we schedule his first surgery. We have collected all of the diagnostic exams, attended all of our appointments and now we have even been granted permission to continue forward with this frist surgery from his pediatric cardiologist. None of this would have been possible without God. He has orchestrated it all, and as an added blessing he has given Marlon's mother, Juana, an extra helping of super-mom powers. Wilmer and Juana know their son well. They understand his gibberish talk, they know exactly what he wants (or doesn't want) when he makes this one very peculiar whiny sound, and most importantly they know how to make him laugh. Wilmer and Juana love their son and it is evident.
He likes...
He doesn't like...
Marlon and his parents are troopers! They love God, they love each other, and I am so blessed to be involved in their lives.

Dear Meredith,
I am writting you from 5NE. We jsut upgrated from CIS to ORCA. 5NE is the pilot unit of whole UWMC. Everyone has been doing great to keep up with current huge changes. When you come back to visit us, CIS is not going to be on the computer screen anymore.
I read few of your articles and really admire your efforts to help these kids. They need not only finacial support, but all other kinds of help! wish you all the best,
Hugs from Nailing and 5NE
love you. maybe i too will blog again someday soon... :)
thanks for presenting little Marlon and his family to us on a personal level with a bit of what makes him happy, what makes him sad; a precious little boy and a loving family... I pray for mountains of blessings on this family.
