Difference of a year

What a difference a year makes!  This boy Itgelkhuu, which means Son of Faith, but goes by Antushkha had surgery one year ago in Texas.  He was so sick prior to surgery.  We visited him in the local hospital and he was fighting for his life.  So many people prayed for this boy and his family and he was accepted for surgery at 6 months of age.  His parents are believers and his father has quite the story of turning away from alcoholism and dedicating his life to Christ.  Antushka's surgery had some complications, but he recovered so well and is now thriving.  He is a happy and healthy boy.  Enjoy these pictures and praise God for the healing in this boy's life. 

Just a month or two old when we first met Antushka
