Darin Talley, Billy Wynn, Rachel Hurst (PA), Avery Roller and Mason Roller left for Haiti on Saturday, June 12th. They met up with Dr. Ric Bonnell and others from Texas to work at Pierre Payen in Haiti doing surgeries and clinic this week.I hadn't posted anything, yet, about the group being in Haiti, because we haven't gotten to talk to them much this time. The internet has not been working at the base, so they haven't been able to send updates. We have had a couple of quick phone calls here and there, but not photos or blog updates.
They are all doing great and surviving the heat! : ) They've been working long days and seeing a lot of patients. They've been able to do quite a few surgeries, too.
An amazing thing happened today. The little girl that they worked on while they were at Pierre Payen in March--the one that almost died--came into the clinic this morning with her mom. Darin sent Robin a picture of the little girl, her mom and Billy in the clinic this morning. That was a definite answer to prayer. She is the one they transported to Port-au-Prince in the back of the cattle truck during the night at the end of March. When they left Haiti last time she was still on a ventilator at the University of Miami Field Hospital in Port-au-Prince. They were not sure if she had lived or not. But today, they got to see her and had an emotional reunion! : )
Keep the team in your prayers the rest of the week, they are hot and tired, but excited about the work they're able to do. They were also able to get the anesthesia machine working on Sunday night when they got there, it had broke while the last team was there. ~Marty
