Praise the Lord!! All of our heart patients are doing great! It was discovered a few days after arriving in Santiago that Rutherchy has sickle cell anemia and that is what is effecting his quality of life. They sent him back to Haiti and we are working on a medication regimen to treat his sickle cell, and he won't need heart surgery for a few more years. Roosevelt, Sophonie, and Guyito are all out of surgery and doing great! Roosevelt and Sophonie are back at the apartment and will hopefully be able to travel back to Haiti on Saturday, and Guyito is recovering from a pericardial effusion [fluid around the heart] and will be back to Haiti asap!

Also this week we were blessed to have a team from Buffalo, NY join us to serve! It consisted of an amazing pediatrician and 5 energetic high school students. It was awesome to get to serve the people of Haiti with them at various medical clinics throughout Port au Prince.
So thankful for willing hearts and hands! This team began our "team season" so we look forward to serving with different people from all over for the next few months. Stay tuned to check out all the crazy awesome stuff God is doing through Chadasha in Haiti! :)
