Patrick & Kez

Goodness...I apologize for just now updating as many things have happened.

Papa Beaver came on Monday with parts for the car. however Cullie still has to get them up to the mountain and into the car working properly. pray it goes quickly/God's speed! it was great to meet Beaver brooks(Kevs adoptive dad) and hear about his adventures through Gonaives to help out the people there. he leaves on saturday and is going to being going back and forth many times this week. keep him and the others working to get children and people out of the mess there. pray for their safety in travels and continued prayer for Gonaives and Haiti.

Cabaret was also hit bad with a flood, but for those who know the Merritts and orphanage in bercy know they are safe and well. in fact Rusty and Cheryl are taking in many children from Gonaives. Keep them in your prayers. i think Pastor Emory and Mary with being staying at bercy for now as there ministry in Gonaives is not in a place where it can function well.

Yesterday we were welcomed with two more wonderful additions to our home here. Patrick, a little boy from Gonaives. We think he is around 2yrs old. i dont know his story only that he was in an orphanage out there. he has a great smile and is slowly adjusting into things. we are treating him for scabies, but overall he is doing for well healthwise. i'll try to take him to medlab for our normal overall tests when i can work out transportation.

Our next guest that came was Ms. Kez Furth. she is an RN and Dannae & mine's new roomie. She is sweet and has already taken over giving the shots to Mickenson, which i am sure Chris is thankful for. she will be working at sherrie's ravine on wednesdays and with Dr. Ed's medical clinics on tuesdays and thursdays, but the rest of the time she will be helping around here.

in fact the other day we were talking about Poutchino and how she would love to take over doing therapy with him on the days she is here after i leave. he has improved so much since i have been here working with him, but i am so heart broken that his shunt more than likely is infected, which mean his progress might go right back to were it was before i came with surgeries, waiting, and the complications that come with hydrocephalis kids and shunts. however when she told me she would love to take over working with him, my heart smiled. it was an answered prayer.

continue to pray for poutchino as his cough and fevers are still presistant. pray we can get him into a hospital, pray for doctors that can do the surgeries he needs, if his shunt is infected, pray for a miracle. pray for a family to adopt him. just pray.

mickenson is suppose to go back to the doctor on the 23rd of this month...hopefully he will be finished with his shots...poor guy, after the last two he will have had a total of 18 shots.

what else...the other baby, baby lavinsky, we may be getting him on thursday. he has HIV and isnt doing so well...so we'll see.

oh one more thing...tonight downstairs where the kids stay most the time and sleep was a bit flooded from the HEAVY rain tonight so we brought all the kids upstairs...pray this doesnt happen when it rains as it really is difficult to relocate 18 children and have them be calm.

tomorrow we will be cleaning downstairs and praying it doesnt happen again!

okay...wow so many things to pray for...i hope i didnt scare you off...

you are blessed, and you are loved my fellow children of the KING!!

and so many blessings to me! <3 <3 <3
