You got The Fever?

People are smacking each other left and right to kill these bad boys


You got The Fever?

That is by far the most asked question around here in the last few weeks. Chikunguyna has reached Haiti and it is affecting people here more than the news is reporting. 
While we've come up with some funny ways of saying the name, there is nothing funny about this disease.  It's heartbreaking to see children with temps over 102 coming into the clinic with pain and nausea. There were two young girls with high fevers that walked over with their young brother looking for help because their mom was at home with "the fever".  Almost everyone we know has someone in their home who has it. New born babies are getting it via vertical transmission. 
Please pray for all those who have this painful disease.

The last few months have flown by! Watch for a new newsletter mailing soon and I will get some pictures posted here in the next few days (including a few from our soccer fun day!!)
Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement! 
We love and miss you!
