She's Home!


Did you hear our orphanage kids screaming at the top of their lungs? "Praise the Lord, Mama Susette is home!" It was an incredible homecoming -- nonstop praise, worshiop and prayer! Lifting up praises and thanksgiving to our awesome God for all he has done. "God is good! God is great!" The praises have not stopped.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers, encouragement and love!

We love you!

Tube Removed

Today, September 11, at 11:00am, Susette had her food tube removed. (Susette loves those 11s) And all seemed to go well. It was not a very technical procedure. The doctor just grabbed the tube and jerked. Ouch! But that is apparently the best way to remove it and standard procedure for removal. Susette is now resting and we are praying that the holes in her abdomen wall and stomach will heal rapidly. For the next 24 hours she'll just rest and let the holes close up. The doctor reassured us that there should be no problems but we are prayerfully anticipating that she will do great! Please join us in prayer.

Lord willing, we are booked to fly back to Haiti on September 18th. Praise the Lord!

Doctor's Visit

We met with our new GI doctor yesterday and he said Susette's stomach feeding tube (G-tube) will be removed Sept 11. Praise God! She has not used the tube in at least the last two weeks and is eating well normally. We are so very excited. All of her doctors have said she can return to Haiti as soon as she wants. She is feeling great and can't wait to get back and see all the kids. When the children at the orphanage see her you will likely hear their shouts of praise all the way to the mainland! We will likely schedule our flight back to Haiti around mid-September, shortly after the G-tube is removed. Please pray that the G-tube removal goes smoothly.

God bless.

Praise God!

Susette has turned around 360 degrees. She is feeling great and eating all food through her mouth and does not use the stomach tube at all. Praise Jesus! This prompted us to move up our move back to Haiti. i just got back from dropping Ari and Vienna off in Haiti. i enrolled our kids in school and we are planning on moving back as soon as Susette has her stomach tube removed and we get a thumbs up from our doctor.

When i was in Haiti we joined with the children at the orphanage for a night of prayer, praise, adoration, worship and thanksgiving to the Lord for the miracle he has worked. We all wept for joy and felt His powerful presence. It was an unbelievable night!

Please keep praying! God bless you.

Doing Wonderfully!

There must be some big time praying going on out there! That's all i can say. Susette is doing incredibly well. She's been eating every day through her mouth. She's been smiling, walking around and i even have to stop her every now and then from wanting to clean-up here and there. We even went to a Mexican restaurant where she was able to eat a cheese enchilada lunch. It's a miracle. Don't stop praying!
