Well, isn’t that special? Three weeks
before we left for Russia, the hospital director who originally
requested the EEG machine told us it was no longer needed. If you
think that surprised us, you can appreciate the confusion of the
Pediatric Neurologist who was going to use the equipment. To her
knowledge, they still did not have one. But, such is life with certain
administrators.
In the natural, it would appear all
our searching, planning, and organizing was for nothing! We had paid
in advance reservations for the hotels and the trains from Amsterdam,
through to Moscow. Do we go to Amsterdam? Do we need the equipment
after all? We fell back on our old standard, pray for wisdom and
discernment. We knew God had a home for the equipment, we just needed
to know the address.
We have helped a surgical nurse,
Nadia, with sutures and scrubs, over the years. NADIA! Ask Nadia if
her hospital needs the EEG. The answer came back the day we sent the
email, YES. Next, we needed the hospital to request the equipment so
customs would not hassle us at the border. Within two weeks, we had
the original document, signed and stamped, in our hands, in Texas. A
major feat.
When we arrived at the hospital, we
were ushered onto a second floor lobby to meet the Chief of Staff and
all the doctors and nurses. As we visited with the Chief, he detailed
their great needs. He told us he was a Christian and how much he
appreciated the supplies. We asked if they had a pediatric floor.
Pediatric floor? It’s a PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL! Praise God, Treasures
found a new home.
