Tabitha was taken to the local "hospital." There it was determined that her heart and lungs looked good, but she had a very low body temperature, was dehydrated, listless, and not taking food. They recommended she be taken to LaPointe Hospital which should have an incubater and could give her IV fluids. She was checked into LaPoint children's ward, but after just a few hours, Mom and Dad decided it was not a good or safe place for Tabitha and moved her to another facility with the intent of flying her to PAP to try to get her into a better hospital there. LaPointe did have an incubater but the generator was not working so there was no power to run it and no refrigeration for the medications. So Mom and Dad took Tabitha to Port-au-Prince this morning. They have found a very good (and very expensive) hospital. They were told it is the best hospital in PaP. They are in a private room, and Tabitha has feeding tubes in her, is hooked up to an iv, and is under a heating lamp. One of their best pediatricians has already been in to see her, and she has several doctors and nurses constantly checking on her. The hospital is taking very good care of her, and Mom and Dad, as well. Please continue to pray for Tabitha and all the staff who have come to love her so much. We will keep you informed.
