It is hard to believe she is the same girl who came to us with a hemoglobin of 2.7, barely able to raise her head, and feet and legs so swollen. Now she is again eating, walking about, smiling, and loves to play, all in a space of 2 months! Soon she and her mother will be able to return to their home in the mountains. We will follow her once a month to make sure she continues to grow and thrive.
Yesterday was Mother's Day here in Haiti, and, like all churches we had a feastday in honor of mothers. The chapel was all decorated, the choir dressed in their finest, there was a dance by 5 of the choir girls at end of Mass, and all the mothers got a kiss on the cheek during the Sign of Peace at Mass. After Mass, 5 women were especially honored, and then we all celebrated with brownies and juice. A great day!
Hot and humid tonight. Right now it is about 86 degrees and close to 100 % humidity - probably will rain later.
It looks like my pictures didn't get on this post. So, will post this and then try again.
Take care. Peace to all. Mary Ann
