photos - various children

Chrisno Jeudi is with his host mother getting physical therapy. He has grown a lot and while in Virginia he was able to get a lot of physical therapy. Here they are working on standing. Pray that one day he will be able to walk. He is a determined boy.

In this baby walker he gets to use his legs and develop leg strength with the goal of one day being able to stand and to walk. He travels back home to Haiti on Sunday. We give the Lord thanks for the surgery that he received.

Phara Simeon came with her mother. She is one of the babies who had surgery in November. She hasn't been eating well and had a fever. Her nourishment is not good as well. Pray the medicine helps. With a shunt in place, infections need to be monitored.

Jimmy Jean and his mother came with a gift basket. When the mother said she had a surprise I thought for sure it was another abandoned baby. She came with several bunches of tasty bananas! They are both thankful for the surgery he received.

This father came with his one year old daughter. The mother died and he can not look after his daughter. He came asking for help to find an orphanage and would like to see his daughter adopted. I will talk with a couple of orphanages who deal in adoptions next week and see if any can help out the father.
