Our Turkish friends, Semih & Aysun gave birth to their son last Friday at just about 28 weeks. The baby is in the NIC unit and will remain at the hospital for a few months. Everyone continues to pray and show support for their family. The baby is responding well to the treatment and we all continue to "hope for the best" for little Aras...pronounced A "rus"...with a little roll of the "r". Semih and Aysun came home earlier this week and I rounded up our friends from "SR Ladies Night" to deliver "meals on wheels" to them for the first seven days home. It's amazing at the support and help everyone has shown. The ladies couldn't sign up fast enough to help out. Even though we are all "expats" & "new friends", we have really grown to be a "little family" in Dubai. Our night, was last night, to prepare a home cooked meal. We stayed to have dinner with them. It was a "Mexican Fiesta!" We had a wonderful dinner and great conversation. Aysun's cousin has flown in to help her with house work, laundry, cooking, and just being a sounding board and friend to Aysun. Aysun looks amazing, as always, and is starting to move about. She had an emergency c-section but it really doing well. They visit the baby as few as two times a day and will continue doing this for months. I can't imagine how tough it is on them and they are handling this very well. They have a super attitude and are very confident in their doctors which is very helpful. So please, everyone out there, say a little extra prayer to the "BIG GUY UPSTAIRS" for little Aras. He needs everything he can get!!
