Well, this day has gone from bad to worse. I had to delete my previous blog. I managed to get myself "on the radar" which is something I have always striven to avoid. For the most part, I have always been successful. Oh well, you live and you learn. It is wise not to make the same mistake twice, which is now my goal.
That situation though pales in comparison to the predicament I now find myself in. For those of you who followed my previous blog, you are aware of my struggles to help a very young and very sick child. Until a couple of hours ago I thought that I had done just that, with help from a lot of other people. And I suppose that we have helped this child to some degree. A couple of hours ago I received some devastating news.
This child is in much worse shape than initially thought. Since I posted some photos of this child in my previous blog I'm not going to go too much into detail about his present medical condition. What I, or we, are now faced with is telling this child's parents exactly how bad the situation is. That alone would be devastating for any parent. But this particular information will also have a profound impact on the parents themselves and their medical future. Okay, you probably have figured out where I'm going with this.
Tomorrow will be my last official day in my current position. What a way to end it. But, I have no choice but to meet this head-on. There are many complexities now involved in this that I have work out in my head, through careful thought and lots of prayer. I have to remain compassionate while at the same time not getting myself into another jam. I will continue to ask that you pray for this family and for all of the people here in Haiti. Until next time, take care, stay safe, and God Bless.
