Yesterday Kemmel got a text from the attorney helping us file our hospital license. Up until now she has given us mostly "go back to the drawing board" kind of responses or "they are also requiring this" sort of news.
When we left for the holidays we were told it would be another 3-6 months before the Ministry of Health would accept our application package because they wanted us to also have a clinical laboratory license as part of the process.
But yesterday afternoon she sent Kemmel a text that started with, "I've got some excellent news for you."
She was able to submit our package and the Ministry of Health accepted it on the condition that we complete the laboratory licensure in the next two years. She said they would be sending out the Hospital Ezell license within 15 business days!
We are shocked and so excited by this and grateful to God for opening the doors for this to happen. Our prayers have been answered in a way we didn't see coming which is evidence of God's work in this.
We will be planning for surgery to start in the next couple of months, preparing patients, confirming U.S. surgeons, nurses and OR staff. Please keep praying as we start this hospital back up!
Thank you for your prayers and financial and emotional support over the last three years. We are aware of the frustration and waiting and doubts that everyone has had--we have too!
If you would like to sign up for a surgery week, Bienvenidos! Contact Rick Harper or Bode Teague for information.
