Late this morning, a Haitian man that we know brought a mother and a young baby to the house, saying that the baby wasn't breathing properly. The baby was dehydrated and malnourished. The family lives in a refuge camp called Tapi Vert in Cite Soleil.
The baby had just healed after being attacked by a rat. The rat tried to eat his face. Terrible but true. Ed Amos checked him out, said the baby needed an iv to live and we rushed over to Bernard Mevs Hospital. The doctors there examined the baby and admitted him to the pediatrics ward immediately. Every week medical personnel from different parts of Canada and the United States help out at the hospital and work alongside the Haitian medical staff. The baby will be getting good quality care free of charge! We left the mother with some money to buy some food and will check back at the hospital tomorrow. Pray for this baby boy. We didn't have time to ask the name of the baby or mother. We are not sure if he will survive but he is now in good hands.
