Meet Edona
On May 5th, Edona Sadiki arrived in Indianapolis through Samaritan’s Purse Heart Project (SP), for a very standard heart surgery. Edona is a 14 month old girl, from Kosovo. Her mother, Luljeta (Lul-yet-a), is 6 months pregnant and unable to accompany Edona to the US for her surgery. Therefore, Edona’s parents signed over guardianship to Valentina, a SP translator, for the duration of her stay in America. On May 26th, she was able to go back to her host families home after her first surgery. On June 4th, Edona had to have a second open heart surgery and recovery from that point on has been very difficult.
Due to her difficult recovery, Samaritan’s Purse made the decision to fly Edona’s father, Selajdin (Se-ly-din), to the States to be with Edona. Her mother, Luljeta, is not able to come because of her late stage of pregnancy. Yesterday, the doctors treating Edona decided that she is not getting better and another surgery is needed. She is going to be having a third open heart surgery. This is a very high risk surgery and they don’t even know if it will fix all the problems they are seeing. Therefore, I am asking you all to pray. Pray specifically for her healing. There is no way she is going to recover without God being a huge part of this. The doctors have been confused for several weeks, and this week have asked specifically for us as a church to pray for wisdom and direction. The third thing I would mention for prayer, is Edona’s mother, Luljeta who is heavily pregnant and unable to be with her daughter. Thanks!
will definitely be praying for edona and family. thank you for sharing this and please keep me update!
