I hope everyone is aware that I left Haiti for 3 weeks to attend my sister's college graduation, and my cousin Sam's HS graduation!! Congrats to both, I am proud of both of them! I leave again for Haiti on June 18th with my mom and my sister. So don't really expect anything interesting on the blog for 3 weeks. But expect some chaos and good stories as I introduce my mother and sister to the world of sweating, spiders and babies!
I did want to let everyone know that one of the mystery babies Robenchely, who is 6mo and weighs 9lbs was diagnosed with HIV on Friday. I was really heartbroken! This is a baby I held and kissed everyday, and I had so much hope that we were helping him. I am thankful we know what is wrong with him, but so sad that it is HIV. It is so frustrating to have been working with him, and trying to help him for 2mo and then finding out we guessed wrong the entire time. All those efforts, and we were completely on the wrong path. I think that diagnosis hit all of us really hard, so please keep praying for encouragement, wisdom, and strength. The picture I am posting is me with Robenchely and Eli, the baby I took care of for 2wks. Eli is the bigger one on the right.
Sara,
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and found out about your time in Haiti and upcoming time in Africa. Sounds pretty awesome... and pretty intense, hard, joyful, sorrowful, and grace-filled. You've got my prayers.
Godspeed,
Kenny
Sara,
ReplyDeleteLarry from Snohomish Community Church. I am in the process of putting my team together for next January, so I will refer to your blog from time to time for updates from PC. Thank you so much for your commitment to helping Anne marie and Rob in their mission to the folks at Hospital de Reference and PC.
You as well as your fellow nurses are an inspiration to those who would otherwise just dispense medical knowledge without a personal commitment to healing.
We all love you for your desire to help in Haiti.
Larry
