“Wow, this looks like a nice, healthy baby,” I was thinking when I pulled the blankets back. “I wonder why they called me outside.”
“She was just born last night,” they told me.
I pulled off her socks next. And then I saw them. These feet. Or what are they? They ARE feet. Aww.
So we are trying to make connections with a doctor in Port now, to see if any one in Haiti can help him. (And yes, this is a boy hidden under the pink dress….)
And I must mention the bellyache boys. We have two of them in the hospital right now. The one seems to be recovering from an impacted bowel. The other one is still in observation. We aren’t sure what he has. He just arrived a few hours ago.
And this boy, well, he just fell and really cut up his gum. A loose flap hung awkwardly from above his teeth. Katie lidocained him up, and cut that offending piece off. So don’t make fun of his face. It hurts!
