So I have been in Haiti the for two months now and can't believe how fast time is going. Last week we had a wee miracle in the clinic, on monday a little baby came in just 15 months and she was very very sick. She had a high temperature and her respiratory rate was way to high and she wasn't reacting to anything really and when Dr Gavin saw her he said he thought she was going to die she was so sick. So he gave her some IV antibiotics, she did not move when Gavin put the needle in. A group of staff from the clinic went in to pray with her, by the afternoon she was much better, because we are a clinic and not a hospital we had to send her home that night. The next she came in she was a totally different child, much more alert and this time it took three adults to hold her down for Gavin to put an IV in!!So Gavin thinks she had meningitis and if it wasn't for the clinic and for our prayers she would not have made it.
 
Think about how much care a child gets if they have meningitis at home yet here she got IV antibiotics for 5 days went home every night and was completely better by the end of the week like a completely different child from the first day it was amazing!!
 
Also my other little boy with clubfoot has been back and I was getting to the stage where I didn't know what to do next, I had made splints but I didn't know how long it would last so I emailed a friend to see if they had any splints they could send out, the very day he told me he can send some Gavin told me his parents are coming here on good friday so that is so perfect it would take as long to post and more money and now they can send them, it was a great answer to prayer!!so Thank you for your prayers but continue to pray that he will get better and I will be able to help him to walk again.
 
I have also been working with another little boy, he is the son of another missionary couple here. His name is Jaden he is haitian and they have adopted him but he has CP and other behavioural problems.He has never had any therapy before because he has been living in Haiti. I am going to their house twice a week so I am trying to be a physio, occupational therapist and speech therapist all at once!!A bit out of my depth. Its going well though because I am trying to do all three I feel a bit out of my depth.
 
I am also having lots of fun aswell as working...going to the beach, hiking, just making friends its great.
so thank you for your prayers and please continue to do so.
 
One thing you can pray for is just Haiti as a country right now there is alot of food stuck in customs and because of that food is very expensive, I have no idea how families are able to eat because it is so expensive. Also in the clinic in the past week we have noticed there are not as many patients probably because they need the money for food. so pray that the food will be released from the customs and the price of food will go down.
