Baby Update!
The baby boy (Lixier) with hydroencephalitis was just approved for his Visa last night! He and his mother will be leaving for the states on Saturday and Lixier is scheduled for surgery on Monday at St. Joseph’s Hospital. It was a long and stressful process but it looks like things will work out after all. However, surgery is only half the battle. His follow-up care will be crucial in helping him to stay alive. As it is very difficult to receive the post-operative treatment he needs in Haiti, the host family in the US has offered to house Lixier and his mother for 2 months.
I'll be going with them to the airport tomorrow morning to say goodbye and wish them luck. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.
