surgery

Nancy called me this morning and it looks like they are going to try and remove Poutchino's shunt today as the fluid showed much bacteria and infection. the procedure should only take about 30 minutes and then they will put a temporary shunt in to drain the fluid while he heals... in haiti this temporary one would not be possible. praise the Lord he is here.

Nancy is a saint taking him and being his host family... but then again she told me yesterday she wouldn't of done it if she wasn't going to have help...but she knew how many people love this boy and that SO much support would be there.

however until he is recovered from surgeries she is going to be very particular about who has clearance to see him...as he has been through much trauma, transition and change. i am SO honored because she has given me clearance to see him... i mean i did run into a building after an earthquake to get him ;) no i am truly blessed to be a part of the community supporting and helping this precious boy. i was able to see him yesterday and what a blessing... more than words can express.

his visa is for a year so gosh who knows where he will be when he is suppose to return to haiti... i have SO much faith in poutchino's abilities to grow and strengthen with the right care... i am so excited to see what God does in the next year.

anyway... pray for his surgery today. pray they can get him scheduled in and that it goes well as i know it will.

i will do my best to keep you informed as news comes in!!!

LOVE
