The aftershock this morning was a little scary but it didn't last long and nothing was damaged. Thank you LORD! We pray for those who were closer to the quake. Surely there was additional damage and loss of life.
Yesterday we found propane, diesel fuel and kerosene. Our water truck is coming today to refill the cistern. Our mechanic Dyno comes by every day to be sure we're okay and see if we need anything. He is coming to start the generator today so we can pump water upstairs and make more drinking water.
Yesterday we took lots of photos while out looking for supplies. I am working to upload some. Most will be on Facebook (easier upload). Just ask to be my friend.
Everyone except me and sometimes Natasha is sleeping outside. Haitians are terrified of going inside buildings, especially sleeping inside. Everyone feels more secure when they are all together. I can't leave the comfort of my bed. It feels wonderful.
Quisqueya Chapel has a medical clinic with doctors and also is doing food distribution. Our nanny Rosie came with her two children yesterday to stay here. Her daughter was injured in the quake, cuts on her foot. The foot is swollen so Natasha took them to the church for care. They aren't back yet (no problem, not gone long enough.)
Richardson, Claudine, Johnny and Emmanuella are all on azithromycin for fever and cough. I just finished a course of it for what I think was bronchitis and am feeling much better. Violent coughing spells leave me weak for a while but only happen a couple of times a day now. Poutchino still has no signs of meningitis --- his fever stopped by itself. Praise God for that too!
I have money but no place to change it into Haitian. PRAY AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF FEAR HERE. IT IS CRIPPLING RECOVERY! We need troops from any country to leave their compounds and guard banks, stores, Western Union offices, etc. so people can resume life.
Blessings! Dorothy
