We are SO thankful that the process went smoothly this week. Nelson got his Passport this week, then his medical visa the next day, and his plane ticket last evening.
Apparently the man at the embassy saw Nelson's heart thumping through his shirt and asked if his shirt was moving because of his heart condition (the answer is "yes"). That helped make the case. The thing about medical visas from Hatii to the US: it is not a done-deal. So we are really thankful there is no delay.
We'll find out soon about the dates for pre-op visits, surgery, etc.
If any are inclined, a donation to Angel Missions Haiti would be particularly a good idea. There is a need to cover the cost of the tickets (about $1200) and there were expenses related to getting the passport & visa ($800). Any amount would be appreciated, I'm certain.
