We have a new boy. His name is MarcLove Jean. He was born July 26, 2007. His mother died and he has one brother who is not with us. We took him immediately to the doctor and he has been tested and x-rayed and has Tuberocloius (TB). His father was looking for someone to help him because he knew that his son was sick. So a neighborhood boy brought him to us. The father cried as he gave up his son. That is unusual for fathers in Haiti. Marc will be going to the doctor once a month for treatment at the hospital. He is living with us in our home for the time being, especially with a lack of space and so many babies at the Creche. I will be able to keep a close eye on him and give him the caring, personal attentioin that he needs.
This is Mackenda (Lydia), being adopted by Natalie and Chris Lewis, with a cotton cast on her arm. Last night she was playing inside and one of the boys knocked her down. She fell and landed on her elbow. We took her to La Pointe (the local children's hospital) to have x-rays and found out that she pretty much dislocated it at the socket. They pulled on her arm to relocate it in place, and she now has a soft cast on for a while. Just pray for healing and for the new boy too with TB.
