Haiti is in great need of prayer right now. i am sure many of you have heard about the school collapsing in Petionville, but i also wanted to inform you that Dorothy has been admitted into a hospital. i received this message from Kez today...
"I just got back from Sacred Heart, Dorothy is admitted there. She's spending the night with Emmanuel there to assist her. She wanted me back at the house to make sure everything is OK here. We don't know what is wrong with her - she just started having awful abdominal pain, vomiting and nausea this morning, so bad that she had to call me to come get her from Agape and take her to the hospital. They have run a bunch of tests and they are looking at maybe appendicitis, parasites, giardia, malaria, and a dilated bowel. Hopefully after tonight they'll have the blood work back and we'll know more. I'll be going back in the morning after I do breakfast and meds for the kids."
PLEASE being praying for her as i don't think kerven's little heart or any of us really for that matter could handle something happening to her. pray for her to feel well, to be treated with attention and great care. i trust sacred heart hospital its one of the best hospitals in Haiti i have seen. therefore she should be well taken care of, but pray for provision and wisdom. pray for the nannies and all the kids, for Kez as she will take Dorothy's role right now. its a big task, but she will do wonderful.
in terms of the school collapsing it doesn't look good at all, however aid seems to be coming. dannae the teacher who lives at the infant rescue sent out her email update with this information on it...
"I'm sure you all heard about the school that collapsed yesterday. It happened in Petionville, which is a section of Port-au-Prince. No, it was not my school, or very close to my school. It is probably about a half hour away. It was a five story building and there were about 700 students that attended grades pre-K through philo (the last year of high school here). All the floors fell down completely except for the basement where the kindergarten class was trapped. Rescuers were trying to get them unburied, but as there are not as many trained in rescues such as this it was difficult. Also, they were not keeping track of the bodies they were finding, whether they had died or were being sent to the hospital. Parents had no idea whether their child was found and in a hospital, what hospital they were in, if they were still buried or if they were dead. As of this morning there were 80 confirmed to have died. Pray for those who may be still buried. Pray for the family of those who are dead or missing. And pray for those who are in the hospital that they may be taken care of properly."
