The young man here in this picture is my Grandson Emmanuel. We call him Eman for short. My son, Igor and his wife, Charity, adopted him from Liberia in November of last year. They knew God had put Eman in their lives for him to have a chance at life. Eman was born with a heart condition. He is one of 11 children living in a remote area in Liberia. His Father knew this was his only hope.
Basically, his only chance to live was to come to the United States. My son and daughter in law adopted him knowing what this may mean, and they did it anyways.
Right now Eman is at the Duke University Hospital in the ICU. He had a procedure today and will be in the hospital for 2 weeks. After the two weeks, the Doctors will attempt to repair a heart valve. According to what the Doctors are saying, the procedure has a 20-30% chance of success. 
If this does not work, the last resort for Eman is to go on the heart transplant list. I hate the sound of that! I spoke to my son today and pray for him. He was shaken and in tears, and even though they have known this may be the course, it is still so hard to deal with.
If you are reading this post, please stop right now and pray for Eman and the family. I know God has a perfect plan and no matter what happens, He will use this experience for His greater good. Thank you so much!

As I wrote on Charity's blog, our God is the God of the impossible and of miracles. Dave and I are praying for that miracle. God has laid out his path so perfectly to receive the treatment that he needs and I believe he has more in store for this inspiring young boy. We pray for strength and peace and wisdom for your son and daugther in law. They are truly an inspiration to us.
Pastor Igor & Gracie: Am praying for your grandson Eman and the entire family. We know the power of prayer and we serve an awesome God that can do all things. Stay strong!
