Homes of Love

I just received some photos of Tuong, the trip home and her home coming that I thought you would enjoy. Ruth Hicks put together a photo book for Tuong that will help her remember and tell about her American Journey. You can see the book in several photos. I am sure she has kept her [...]

Quick update: We just received the first information about her “homecoming.” It was not exactly smooth. From what we can see she is going to have it rough for a little bit emotionally.She was not easy on the flights home…asserting her will quite often. When Tuong arrived at the HOL home she announced that she [...]

Thank you for all your prayers.  Her fever broke yesterday….and she perked up. It really was a miracle!  Tuong had a full day yesterday of a unexpected doctor visit to see what was going on, last shopping trip to Target, going to eat at the Cow (Chick-filet) and even learning to ride a bike for [...]

Tuong is supposed to leave tomorrow at 7:30 AM to go back home.  Her escort in the air right now from Philly to Knoxville. And Tuong woke up this AM with a high fever! She has been well the whole time until today. They think that she has been around so many people in the [...]

We are working on tickets to get Tuong home.  It appears she will leave Knoxville around 7:30 on September 2. This is not all done but the process seems to be going smoothly. We have a little bump and a place for prayer. We sent a list to her home about a month ago of [...]

Another chapter in the American Adventure for Tuong. She went to the beach with the Hick’s last week and had such a great time. She learned to swim, played in the waves and even went parasailing…as seen in the photo. Yes, that is Tuong and James Hicks up in the air! She really, really wanted [...]

I think we have all the information we need to get the process rolling to get Tuong back home. Gracious and kind doctors have come up with a list of health problems that we need to address in a life long manner. Tuong has been diagnosed with: 1. Chronic Lung disease 2. A paralysed diaphragm [...]

In my journal today I read , “Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.” I Cor. 13:12 I just knew God was going to show us something today. I think He did! The doctor appointment I thought was last Tuesday with the pulmonologist [...]
