October 23 2009
Dr. Pierre-Louis, our Haitian pediatrician, has been busy. He is expensive, at US$350 per month but has really earned his pay. We are still praying for a sponsor to pay his salary so we can keep him.
9/25, before his contract started, he treated Herode for pneumonia.
10/1, the first day of his contract, we called him about 2 week old Marcus having a fever
10/1 he made a house visit and saw Marcus, Marvens, Leika
10/2 put Marcus in the hospital
10/3 hospital visit
10/5 hospital visit
10/9 house call, saw Leika, Claudine, Marcus, Poutchino, Myson
10/12 phone call, Johnny
10/15 phone call, Marcus
10/16 surgery on Marcus to remove infected 6th finger
Office visit, Leika
10/23 house call, Rosa, Claudine, Poutchino, Mackenzie, Marcus, Tree
Leika is a baby girl who came to live with us on October 1st. Her mother died when she was born, on September 23rd. She is a beautiful baby girl!
Myson does not have tuberculosis (sputum cultures were negative) but is being treated for it anyway because something shows on his chest xray. His immune system is low – CD4 9.5% in July – but they are trying to wait until he is 2 before giving AIDS medicines. Pray for him!
Richardson has a school sponsor and a home sponsor! Praise God!! The home sponsor contributes towards his living expenses but, more importantly, prays for him regularly and sends occasional small things to let him know someone out there cares just for him. 14 of our children do not have sponsors.
Emmanuella improves daily. She actually smiled at a nanny and reached out to touch her face. Aron is growing normally. Gerdeline is now strong enough to turn over and to lift herself on her elbows. Poutchino routinely stands alone now. Kervens, who never had French in school before, is getting A’s! Rosa has settled into our routine and is overcoming her fear of men. Tree’s weight is in the normal range for his age and build. He will go home soon. Herode is in good health again and walking everywhere. We see God's miracles every day. What a blessing!
October has been a blessed month. We got new inverter batteries, paid our rent, paid our staff, etc. The car is still a concern: the front left wheel is wobbling now, I don’t know why. The mechanic is due back in town Monday. The owner of our house will sell the house to us for $210,000. Only a miracle of God can supply that much money but HE is able! We wait on his decision.
I thank God for all of you and for your prayers. Blessings on your households!
