This is a photo of a one day old baby girl who was brought to the clinic to be seen by the doctors. She was born with severely clubbed feet, which if left untreated would cause her to be

disabled later in life. We were all happy to see her brought in at this time as it is relatively easy to correct the clubbing with casts at this stage of life. As the photo shows one of our pediatricians casted her feet that same day. She slept through most of the procedure. She was brought back for a cast change the last day we were there. There was already significant improvement in the positioning of her feet! Today we got an update from Haiti that her mom brought her back yesterday for another cast change, and the improvement is even better. She was recasted in the next position by another doctor and will return again in a week for another check. God's timing is so good!! This little one will most likely be able to walk as a result of the prompt attention she got for her birth problem. I can't wait to see how she does later on.

On a sadder note, the same update mentioned a woman who came in stating she was 5 YEARS pregnant. The doctors could feel what they thought was an infant head, so they did a pregnancy test which was negative. A portable ultrasound was delivered when we were in Haiti, so they used that to see if they could find a fetal heartbeat or get a picture. Nothing showed there either. So now they are thinking that the woman had a miscarriage 5 years ago, but didn't pass the fetus and it calcified in her uterus, or that she has a large tumor. Either way they were unable to help her at the clinic and will have to refer her to a hospital for further treatment.

We received word from Nehemiah Vision Ministries that they are collecting new and gently used tents to send to Haiti. There are so many makeshift shelters in Haiti, and the rainy season is rapidly approaching. If you want to contribute to this collection, contact us. If we get a significant amount of tents collected in this area, Tim and I will be sure to get them transported to Indiana to go on the next container shipment. We are also, on our own collecting new or gently used socks, underwear, T-shirts and summerweight children's clothing, toothpaste, children's and infants vitamins (bulk packs are great, they divide them up there!).

We are not locked in yet, but we are looking at and praying about a return trip in May. We were asked just today if we would go back then. We are willing if that is what God wants us to do. We will also be happy just staying home and advocating for NVM and our newfound Hatian family.

Thanks for all of your continued prayers and support. We are blessed by your blessings!! We think we may need to study Kreyole seriously!!

In His grip!

Tim and Cindy

PS Please keep E'Tienne and 2 others in your prayers tomorrow as they will be flying to the DR and then on to Atlanta to connect to their home flights. Thanks!
