Toilet Baby - October 31, 2007


My sister Tanya and the rest of the crew were kept busy today at the hospital. The surprise of the day was when the police and a couple of citizens brought in a newborn infant that had been thrown into an outhouse toilet. A haitian couple had heard sounds of a baby crying coming from the bottom of the toilet. He looked inside and then climbed into it to get the baby out. The baby was cut and banged up from the fall into the toilet and was covered in "poop". Tanya and Marlene bathed the baby and it still stank. It is now in an incubator and receiving iv antibiotics. They gave him the name of "Dieudonne" (Gift of God). Pray for his ongoing medical treatment.
