Suzette's clinic day

Prayers were definitely felt today!  thank you for sending so many prayers.

The drive from here to pick up Suzette then to get to the hospital is 2 hours...with the first hour being light traffic.  What that means for the afternoon is about 3 hours back.  I pray more driving in Haiti than I ever considered it in the states even though driving is slower, it's exhausting and you never know what other drivers will do.  Prayers were felt on the road!

The process at the hospital is like many other processes in Haiti; wait, wait, wait.  We found favor in the first three steps to getting Suzette in to see a doctor.  Many others were waiting much longer, I didn't ask questions as to why or how we got there, just thanked God we did.

For today, Suzette saw a general physician and had blood drawn.  We need to go back Tuesday for the blood test results.

We left there to get an ultrasound done at another clinic about 30-40 minutes away.  When we arrived, we found out the doctor had already left for the day but there was a clinic just next door we could use.  No one told us at the hospital that Suzette should not have any food in her stomach in order to have the ultrasound, she had a pack of crackers on our drive from the hospital to the clinic because it was 12:00.  So, no go for today.

We will go back for the blood test results Tuesday  then we will go for her ultrasound.  perhaps they will order a biopsy at yet another clinic from there, we'll find out.

As I drove Suzette back to her shack in Canaan, she proceeded to explain some of the tests she had just before the earth quake and was never able to go back for the results.  After that, she simply turned to God for healing.   My response to that; "Sometimes God heals people himself and sometimes God uses people and medicine."  She then thanked me for giving up time away from my husband and children to help her and reassured me God would bless me and protect me.  He has already.


Tuesday will be another long day of driving and waiting and seeking answers.  Please continue to pray for doors to open and answers/treatment to be given!

What a treasure to have spent this time with Suzette.  To have been part of a great journey of faith together!  I saw this when I got home today!
