This is a photo of Marie at 1 day of age. Her head circumference at birth was 50cm. She started her life with an already developed hydrocephalus. She was born on Saturday morning and the family brought her to Hopital La Paix that afternoon. A cat scan was done on Sunday and surgery was done to put in a shunt on Monday morning. We give the Lord thanks for the timing of her birth and the coincidence of her arrival at the hospital when the visiting surgical team from Miami was there.
This is a photo of Marie after surgery. Her head has sunken in quite a bit and the 4 bone plates in her head are loose. In a couple of weeks they will start to join together. Holding her head is like holding a cracked egg shell.
This is a photo of Wilbenson and his mother. I met them a couple of months ago on a visit to Cite Soleil. He is doing well and happy 1 day after surgery!
This is a photo of Gilna. This family lives in the same village as Paulna and Michelore.
