Kids in the Hospital

IMG_7200These poor kids many of them have to stay for 6-8 weeks here in the hospital. So…we can at least make them laugh, do a couple balloon animals, & pray for them in the name of Jezi! Below is Dave & Warren (Dr. Mango & Dr.Fou) Mwen fou pou Jezi! (I’m a fool for Jesus!)

U.N. Escort

IMG_7035[1]Just a shot of me with the Chilean Marine commander of the U.N. convoy. Great guys working hard & a long way from home. They will escort us Saturday to (somewhere) to go get a whole bunch of beans & rice :)

Resting on the Word of God

The country is crazy enough when things are good but most phone lines are down or just over loaded.
Wow the U.N. has been incredible. We had 2 amphibious vehicles with 6 armed marines from Chile, Nepal, even Jordan that escorted us to HInche. The head commander has toured the compound, enjoyed Cindy’s brownies, & has been a great help. hen US special forces showed up getting everyones name & picture in case they have to evacuate & just collect intel on folks. Even the Pentagon has called Kevin a couple times, as theres not a lot of info coming from the upper plateau.
The Hinche Hospital (St. Theresa) is overwhelmed with people up from Port-au-Prince. Most have double breaks like 2 broken legs. How they treat it is…with a sand filled gallon jug off the end of the bed so it pulls on the leg to put the bone back in place..so they have to lay there for a couple months. 1 baby was burned neck to foot. Most the people here haven’t been seen (by a doctor) obviously since the earthquake. So sad. Then the 1 doctor from the Hinche hospital makes our doc’s quit at 4pm, they want to work till late, but he calls the shots, much politics who gets seen & when.
So some of the docs & nurses went this morning to Hinche hospital & the rest our doing a clinic here. Well gotta go

Earthquake victim from Port-au-Prince asleep on his Bible

Hello from Hinche Haiti. This man is an earthquake victim from Port-Au-Prince. Finally sleeping soundly on the Word of God.  The country is pretty crazy enough when things are “good” but most phone lines are down now & the rest over loaded.

Wow the U.N. has been incredible. We had 2 amphibious vehicles with 6 armed marines in each vehicle, from Chile, Nepal, even Jordan that escorted us to Hinche from Cap-Haiten (up north). The head commander has toured our compound, enjoyed Cindy’s brownies, & has been a great help. Then US special forces showed up getting everyones name & picture in case they have to evacuate & just collect intel on folks. Even the Pentagon has called Kevin a couple times, as theres not a lot of info coming from the upper plateau where we are located.
