One More Hurdle

The following email was sent to the insurance company in regards to Timo's trip home:

Per our conversation earlier today, Peggy, I will reiterate my thoughts on Timothy's flight on Air France.

Air France is very cautious and careful when screening passengers for their flights. If a passenger approaches the gate/reservation desk with any obvious deficits such as speech, gait or mentation problems, theywill surely question and possibly deny boarding. They have an extensive medical department with a medical director that screens prospective passengers with medical issues. If Timothy has not been pre-screened by the airline, there is a chance they may not let him fly. Unfortunately, pre-screening can be a lengthy process taking several days. At the very least, he should have with him a letter from his treating physicianstating his diagnosis, treatment and fitness to fly. This would be in the event they question his ability to fly and need not be presented unless there is the questioning.

I just wanted to let you all know my concern as I would not want our little guy detained.

MedAire Inc

Pray all goes well. They are working on getting the fit to fly letter - however, Timo absolutely has 'gait' and 'hearing' issues. Vicki said they may could cover up the hearing but NO WAY can they cover up his walking/gait problems ... he walks something similar to a drunk man. And even more so in bright lights and noisy places. He will come home one way or another. Pray they don't incur a problem. We are thankful the insurance company has worked well with the medical staff on site. It would have been horrible to have shown up to fly and been told he couldn't fly due to health issues.

Enjoy a Terrific Thursday!

I've got one more valley to cross, one more mountain to climb, one more valley that I've got to go through, leaving my troubles behind, one more battle with the devil and I know he'll understand, I'm going through with Jesus hallelujah going through nail scarred hands!!!

This song came to my mind as soon as I read you blog...I know the Lord will be with them.

What is one more hurdle for God? When God has brought Timo this far, he will bring him home too! God is able and we will continue pray and believe. We love you all! The Hernandez-Pasadena

I agree! What's one more hurdle to our great, big and mighty God? We will continue to pray and God IS in control! In my opinion, He just wants to make sure everyone knows that each and EVERY step in this process is ONLY made through Him. We love all of you! The Weldons, Conroe, TX

What a powerful testimony, one more hurdle, it will only add to the mighty work God has done!
Still praying and believing for/with the family. Timothy is in God's hands. He knows what's best.
If I may take the liberty (delete this comment if need be), from the start of this ordeal, one thought came to mind: Your precious nephew is a mighty warrior in God's army, vital in "the plan" for revival. His prayer for Africa was so powerful, the enemy thought to shut him down, only to cause a world wide impact!
What Satan meant for evil, God turned out for the best!

Still praying here.
The same God (the only God) that brought Timo this far, will not leave him stranded.

I will be praying for Timothy. My son had meningitus in 1989 in Germany and was not expected to live. He was 11 months old. God performed a miracle and he went from a vegatative state to regaining all mobility. (in approx 2mos) Then the hearing test showed he had severe hearing loss. We went to God again and he was made whole. He is now 20 and a preacher of the gospel! biblequizzer10@juno.com is his email if Timothy wants to email him. We live in the Dallas area. (Garland)
