Unexpected, Very Welcome, Surgical Connection!

Yesterday we received an email from Judy Foster in Les Cayes. She's been working with a visiting surgical team in PAP. She wrote to ask if we could locate the young baby boy who needed cleft palate surgery; if we could find him then the surgeons could fit him into their schedule before they return to the US. Jean Henri was seen by us last October in Nan Dot; he must be between 8 and 10 mos. old now. He was scheduled for surgery in February, but then the earthquake happened. Judy's email asked if we could have him at her house tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. and she'd drive him and his mother to Port for the surgery. This came out of the blue! A couple quick emails to Amoce, and a phone call late last night to make sure he knew about it. Then tonight...a few minutes ago...Judy emailed to say that Jean Henri and his mom are meeting her in the surgical tent in PAP. We still don't know all the details of how this managed to come together, but we do know that God is good!
