Closing the Ward

(Escorting our last patients home)

Soon after screening, our last patients were discharged or transferred and the ward on the Anastasis closed for forever. It was a great day as we were able to rejoice over all that the Lord has done these many years... but also sad as it was the last time a patient would grace these halls.

During the last couple weeks of the ward, two of our patients had some post op complications and were transferred to nearby hospitals. Yet, praise our Heavenly Father that they had stabilized and just needed a couple more days of hospital supervision.

Little Victoria had a large tumor that was removed and she has since gone home and is doing very well. Solomon required further surgery during our time here and was a patient we were very concerned for during his time here. Our Lord decided to take little Solomon to be with Him, as Solomon died about a week after leaving Mercy Ships. A hard time for our medical staff... Many of us were able to go to little Solomon's funeral in his home village. Please keep his family in your prayers during this dark time...
