This is Iliodor Noel getting out of the car. We picked him up from the hospital and he will now spend some time recovering here at Coram Deo. He is still weak and shaky with the crutches but with some good food and rest he should get stronger over time. Keep him in prayer.
This man has a gangrene leg that needs to be amputated. He has now been in the emergency department at the hospital for two weeks. He is desperate to have his leg amputated as well. It is too uncomfortable laying in bed so he spends his time sitting in a chair. Keep him in prayer as we try to get him his surgery.
We give the Lord thanks that Naphtalie Bazile was able to get her passport and visa this week. She will be travelling soon for brain surgery to treat her hydrocephalus. She has a caring family.
Marie Nesly Celestin is a child that was operated on in the last round of hydrocephalus surgeries done in Haiti at the end of October. She was delivered caesarean section because of her large head and at 3 days of age was operated on to put in a shunt to drain the excess fluid. The shunt worked fine until January. Now the head is growing. In the last round of surgeries there were 3 shunt surgeries performed. 2 of these children died and now this one has a failed shunt which results in a 100% failure rate. Pray that a good post-op process can be developed here in Haiti for those children that are operated on here.
This happy baby is Junior Dan and he has a minor cleft lip. He may be able to get this corrected here in Haiti. There is a plastic surgery team coming in March to Hinche. Pray for their efforts
