Evi Update

It's been a few weeks since we last wrote and things have changed a ton since then. Last Tuesday Evi had an appointment with her orthopedic surgeon in Bloemfontein, South Africa. To make a long story short, we are currently in the process of planning a return to Dallas in order to fix some concerns that we have regarding the way that Evi's bones have been growing since the amputation a year ago. Her Fibula is way outgrowing her tibia making it difficult for her to wear her foot for any period of time.
After some research and talking to her doctors we are in the process of planning a trip back to Dallas in order to surgically "repair" her leg. Please pray as there are many details and items that have to be finalized before we leave for Dallas.
We are still waiting for our camera to arrive after being repaired in the states. It was suppose to be here several weeks ago and it appears to be lost in the mail between Arizona and South Africa. hopefully it will arrive soon.

Dear ones,
Thank you for the update on little Evi...I understand this issue as we were warned of it concerning Chloe as well. I am so sorry to hear that it has happened so quickly after your arrival back to Africa and that she is not able to wear her leg much. I know that is extremely difficult! Please know that we are praying for you all...for all that you are needing right now.

Thanking our loving Heavenly Father that He knows it ALL and has it all under HIS control...no maveric molecule! He is divinely working all things out for all of YOUR GOOD and for His glory...doesn't mean we understand it all the time. But we trust Him by FAITH!

If you come ANYWHERE near Maryland, please let us know...we would LOVE to meet!!
Love and prayers,
Kari for the Schmdits :)
