Our nanny, Claudia, had a baby girl on September 18th. It was a month early but mother and daughter are doing fine.
Myson is the 18 month old boy we took in from the HIV clinic on Aug 18th because his mother was too sick to care for him properly. We learned today recently that she died on Sept 15th. This very sad news is, unfortunately, very common here. Myson is pretty sick himself. He's being tested for tuberculosis this week. I thank the Lord that He provided a home where Myson will receive loving care.
We have contracted with Dr. Pierre-Louis, a Haitian pediatrician who works at St Damien's Hospital in the HIV clinic, to visit our home once a week and to be on call for emergencies. We are required to affiliate with a Haitian pediatrician in order to get our license. I'm still reeling from "sticker shock" - his fee is $350 US per month. We have a 2 month contract to be extended if someone volunteers to sponsor his position. Please pray for a sponsor for our doctor!
Herode had been on augmentin for 5 days and still had a fever. Dr. Pierre-Louis said he had pneumonia, gave him a shot, and ordered blood tests and xrays. What a blessing that the doctor came just when we needed him!
Next month we need to hire a fulltime nurse. As I reported before, Emmanuella was gravely ill when I came back from the States. Natasha had left several days earlier and our staff didn't recognize the severity of Emmanuella's condition. The nurse would give the medicines (a major chore), make sure the kids with respiratory problems get breathing treatments every day, give physical therapy, monitor and treat fevers, do staff training, and so on. Please pray that we will find a loving, competent, Spirit-filled person for this position.
Twin boys! Sherrie Fausey is at it again: this time she sent us twin boys born September 12th. Their mother died, they need baby formula and first year care. They are 4.5 and 5 lbs., named Marcus and Marvens. They appear very healthy, especially if you judge by the strength of their cries when they're hungry!
Please pray for our nanny Jesula Joseph. She is our best worker, one of the sweetest people I have ever known. The love of God shows in everything she does. Her blood pressure is high and I am concerned for her health. (By the way, it would be nice if someone would sponsor school for one of her children!)
Richardson loves school! He needs a sponsor to pay for the school, $525 a year. Please pray for a sponsor for Richardson's school.
Have a wonderful week! May God bless you!
