Chicken Pox in Haiti

Facebook Notes From Chris Nungester

Our sweet Derline is one of 18 children with Chicken pox right now! Never a dull moment in Haiti.. We are wishing we were there to hold and hug our baby girl! Please say a prayer for all the children and staff and HIS Home.

HIS Home kids are recovering from illnesses. Schneider had a sickle cell crisis about a month ago and has finally fully recovered. Unusual for his illness to last so long! Baby Niko was very dehydrated last week from diarrhea and we worried about possible cholera, but turned out that he was getting in a big molar and had an ear infection as well. IV is out today and continuing on oral antibiotics. He is playing and much better! Rose Berline just went back to school from chicken pox, and now Athulia has them :( First epidemic at HH had 38 kids sick at once, and a few years later had 28 cases at the same time. Can't wait to see where this is going this time... Never a dull moment!!!

Welcome to our world... We had 1 child (Rose Berline) who had chicken pox, and now we have 18 current cases :) Will include a list so you can be praying for all of these spotted little ones. Wenskesley, Sarah, Jeste Manie, Christa, Lydia, Julian, Derline, Bethany, Athulia, Gertrude, Martine, Jocelyn, Laurie, Caleb, Christla, Christella, Ketsia, and Tasha. The kids are all handling it well, and we are adding to our numbers daily... All cases are confined to the baby/girls house right now, but am guessing it is only a matter of time until it reaches our other two houses. Every new girl getting it celebrates her chance to stay home from school. Our teachers are celebrating too!

God is so good! He also sent a team of 21 to build a new playground for the children. The team arrived yesterday, and started working today. They take their rest breaks to hold sick kids, which the kids are eating up!!! The ones that feel better are also out trying out the new playground equip being installed. I am personally thanking God for all of the extra hands to hold sick babies!!!!
