Dr. Rick Lapp and two Red Cross Hospital doctors outside the OR tent.
The operating room suite the Red Cross Hospital has set up in one of their tents! It is fully equipped and has air-conditioning!
Dr. Rick Lapp converses with two doctors from the Red Cross Hospital. We had taken three patients there this evening who need surgery but we were turned away for lack of beds. Perhaps tomorrow they will call saying they can take the patients.
Josette is a 15 year old who has multiple fractures of her pelvis. She laid by a dusty road since the earthquake. We have stopped by frequently treating a wound on her back and getting her the nourishment she has desperately needed. Now she lies in a Red Cross Hospital which recently set up almost right across the road from us. She is not a candidate for surgery, but she will have a long painful recovery.
Dr. Rick listens carefully!
A new medical team arrives in Carrefour, Haiti. Dr. Rick welcomes Karen Smith, Cindy Tischio and Dr. Julie Redcay!
Tending to a mother who just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy! We could not understand a change in plans for today, until this mother-in-labor came to our clinic. Bro. Mobley is at the Airport to receive the next medical team coming in. The pastor who was to take us to a mobile clinic today never showed up. But God knew all about it.
Vanessa in all her glory!

This dear little three month old boy was brought to our mobile clinic critically ill. Pneumonia led to respiratory distress, which led to cardiac arrest. Lots of other problems presented themselves. We knew we needed to get him down to our main clinic, but had no time before he died. If we had just known one day sooner, no doubt we could have saved his life. The poor mother went hysterical and many tears were shed! Thanks for your prayerful support.
The baby all cleaned up and dressed to give to his mother -- but she was gone. Others carried her baby to her!
