Quality computers at a fair price are often hard to find here in the DR. The computer we had been using at Genesis was getting really old and really slow. Recently a team from The Chapel in North Canton, Ohio came and brought with them several new computers to donate. What a blessing it has been!!! Thanks!!!!!!
A couple of weeks ago, Henny decided that she was not going to leave her classroom to go outside for the morning flag raising ceremony. She threw herself on the floor and managed to break her arm in the process. What a day! Sissy and I (thank God Sissy was here) took her to the hospital and got x-rays, talked with the doctor, and were able to involve a team member (an orthopedic surgeon) in order to take care of her arm. True to form, things did not turn out as planned. She did not have insurance and was not able to have the surgery that the orthopedic recommended. Instead she now has a cast and is staying home until she is all healed. We are praying that her bone heals well and there is no nerve damage. We visited her at home about a week ago and she seems to be doing well! Thanks to all those who have prayed!!!
During our last outreach we were fortunate enough to snag Amy (above with daniel polo) for a day. Amy is a speech therapist who specializes in swallowing disorders. I was happy to have her at the site for a day to evaluate our kiddos with down syndrome. Many times, kids with down syndrome have feeding/swallowing problems. Our issue here is that most doctors i talk too don't even know if it is possible to get a swallow study done here. Amy was able to feel as the kids swallowed and helped me decide if we needed to take action. Thankfully all of our kids seem to be doing fine!!!! Thanks for your help Amy!!!!
