The emergency medical flight is scheduled to come in at 2:45 this afternoon and should be leaving with Alvin approximately one hour later, after refueling. We are all so excited that Alvin is finally going home! This is truly a modern day miracle. Alvin leaving Liberia is the end of the beginning of Alvin's story.
I will be going to the airport with the Alvin in the AOH ambulance and plan to share all about the day (with pictures, of course) later this evening. God is so good and I am humbled to be a part of this amazing story.
Please remember to pray for Alvin on this last, though major, part of his journey home. He will be in the very best of hands on the air ambulance, but flight can be hard on the body and Alvin's health is very precarious. Also pray for wisdom and alertness for the flight crew, and strength for Alvin's biological mom as she says good bye. Only one other person is allowed to travel with the patient, so that will be Alvin's adoptive dad.
