have reached out to get updates and more information about Aisha, the little
girl who was brought over from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:place></st1:country-region>
to get treatment. Others have thought this to be spam, but it is not, this is
true. Aisha has been in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region>
for about 2 weeks now and is in the naval medical hospital in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">MD.</st1:State></st1:place>
I have been getting updates on her every other day. It seems that she is doing
better day by day, Alhamdulillah. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I know there
was several different things being sent around, some of which may not have been
accurate. She is conscious, but she is not talking because she needs to have a
tracheotomy. This week she may have valves put in her throat to see if she can
speak. Her last surgery was successful. They were able to take some skin from
her legs and put it on her face to cover the existing wounds. The doctors
assume that her naval passage works fine, but they don't know yet for sure.
They will reconstruct her nose in the near future. Unfortunately, her eye sight
will not come back and down the line, she will receive a prosthetic left hand
and eyes, but not now. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>We have
several people that are interested in adopting this little girl. The way the
process will work is that a host family will take care of her for the next 1-2
years. In the meantime, the adoption process will start, which will take 1-2
years. Ideally, it would be great if the host family and adoption family were
the same, but there are certain qualifications, which I don't really know. She
will be under treatment for the next 2 or so years. Currently, her official
guardians are the Solace for the Children company, and they will try to cover
her treatment for the next 2 years. After she gets formally adopted, the family
will have to include Aisha in their insurance plan and the only help they will
get financially is the pro bono stuff that hospitals will provide. ONCE she is
in a family, we will start to collect funds to help the family pay for her
treatments. I hope this helps clears things up. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
