This will be short. It is dark and I must turn off the inverter.
Good news. We had heard that Nerland, a precious little girl who lived with us her first year of life, had been killed in a falling building. Today we learned she is still alive! Oh, thank God!
Claudia needed a ride to the hospital today to get her dressing changed. I drove her to Hopital La Paix and watched the procedure. Ouch! The top of her foot was stripped of skin - it looked like very angry hamburger meat. They cleaned it without any anesthetic: she didn't even get tylenol. She was in agony. There is a long, deep gash running up her shin. By the time it was treated it was too late to sew it. She will have some awful scars. However, she is very glad to be alive. Dayana and the new baby are both fine, no injuries. Praise God they got out of the house!
Bebe saw Dr. Karen today. Her knee isn't broken, just badly bruised and swollen. She is feeling much better. In case you didn't know, she was thrown from a truck when the earthquake hit.
I think I can post a link to my Facebook photos. Please forgive me if it doesn't work and let me know how to fix it. Here is the link to the album Earthquake Haiti 2010. Click here.

Hello from Alabama. Your nephew, Rich Pearce, is in our Sunday School class. We've enjoyed reading your blog updates. Let us know if there's any way we can help or if any of the children would be clear for adoption.
