photos - various - part 5

Amos' youngest sister is number 12 in the family! They are a close and nice family. Pastor Marcelin and his wife have raised their children well.
Wilkensley Innocent is a triple amputee. He was born like that. The prosthetics program at the Bernard Mevs/Project Medishare hospital is going to help him out.
Wilkensley recently was fitted with an artificial hand. In a couple of months they are going to try and have him fitted for an artificial leg. Pray for Wilkensly and his family and for those who help him.
This man came to us on a Monday morning in severe pain. He had fallen from a roof the day before while laying blocks and his hand was swollen double in size and was very painful. We brought him over to the Bernard Mevs/Project Medishare Hospital and they determined that he had 2 broken bones in his hand. His hand hurt him so much that he was begging the doctor to cut it off. The doctor gave him a shot for pain and he stopped asking the doctor to cut his hand off. :)
Pray for healing and that he can return to his job as a cement boss.
Sometimes mothers will come to us with their babies after noticing that their development is not going normally. This boy is at the age to sit and he can't do so. The mother told me that he had been hospitalized for a month. We brought him over to the physiotherapy center in Tabarre. Pray that with physiotherapy that he will start to progress forward with his development.
