I know how much you are all anxious to hear from me. First thing to say “THANK YOU, GOD”. My wife and I have been through a very hard time but in all of it, my God was there with us. On Friday May third, my son Christopher had been crying with a stomach pain. On Saturday the 4th, we took him to the hospital and he was hospitalized. My wife and I have been with no sleep since then. After many exams, one of the result revealed a bacteria and urine infection. He’s been under medication and IV. After 3 days, still crying with pain. His little belly is getting bigger. I could not understand what was going on. I had to call many people to ask for some advice. I want to thank you all for taking time to search for ideas and to share with me. Thanks to Miss Dorothy Pearce, Angela (Dottie’s daughter), Linda B and Dottie. After I talked to Dottie, she said to ask the doctor for a sonogram test right away.

The next day, I went to the doctor’s office and requested a sonogram test.  After she gave me the paper, I had to take Christopher to another place for the test because they do not have the machine. My wife had to carry the IV and her sister carried Christopher on her lap, while I drove.  When we got to the place down town, we spent one hour, there was no one there yet to help and that was the only place we could have it. They said it was too early, the people will start work at 8:30am.  After we have the sonogram test, the lady said one of you take the baby back to the hospital now and one of you wait for the result……..And she said it’s very complicated. My wife and I took the baby back to the hospital and her sister waited for the result. When we gave the result to the Doctor, she said……. Emergency! It was an abdominal blockage”. We have to have surgery in 2 hours. I called my brothers and sisters in Christ, I said ” My son is going to have surgery” I NEED HELP! PRAY FOR CHRISTOPHER! I called Dottie to help pass out the word, I called Dorothy Pearce and I called Mr. Wilbert and said “Ask the students to pray for my son.”  I was really panic but I tried not to lose faith…….. Not one doctor could do the surgery at the hospital where we were.  There were 4 of them in the room but they each said no they can’t. Haiti needs more good DOCTORS. They called another hospital and an ambulance to get Christopher. It took the ambulance 40 minutes to get there.  We got him into the ambulance; We are on our way to another hospital. As soon as we get there, they sent me to RED CROSS for blood. I spent 4 hours waiting for the blood. They started the surgery without me being there. Could you imagine how I felt with no blood and my son is in a surgery room. The only person I had to talk to was Jesus. I called Sophie and she said No sign yet.  GOD SAVE MY SON!  WE ARE SERVING A MIGHTY GOD. Thanks to everyone of you for your prayers. GOD HEARD YOU ALL AND HE GAVE LIFE TO MY SON. After the surgery, they put him on oxygen for one day, the next day, they took the oxygen away. He has little pain but not constantly. He is still at the hospital with his mother and ME, I am at work with my children at school. I had a great time this morning sharing all of this with the students and teachers. They were all clapping and smiling and after WE THANK GOD TOGETHER FOR THIS MIRACLE.

Our God is real; He is not death; He is alive! He hears you when you call Him. He heard us when we prayed for Christopher. In the hard time, don’t lose faith. Keep trusting God and He will show you some amazing things. I don’t know when they will let us take him home but I know he is feeling so much better. He’s smiling and wants to play. The doctor told us what to feed him. Yesterday, they fed him a special meal. We are doing the same thing today. He is still under doctor supervision.

Again, special thank you to all.  I will send you some pictures of him later.
ALL GLORY TO HIM

Mr. Nickson

Happy but exhausted family. To God be the Glory!!!

Little “Miracle”.

Sophie and her sister with Chrstopher.

Christopher is doing very well. He slept through the night, allowing Mommy and Daddy to get some good rest. Still no solid foods allowed he is still on IV, and Nickson and Sophie will have to go to a class to learn how to take care of his incision and how to feed him for a short period of time before he can be released. This is a good thing and i am quite surprised that the hospital is providing this. He is also needing one more blood test before leaving as well.

In Christ,

Dottie

So we are truly looking at a miracle here, please continue to pray for this
little guy’s speedy recovery. God is in every step along the way.

Nickson stopped at the school this morning and what a blessing as children
greeted him telling how they have prayed for Christopher. Even Miss Linda
Blankenship being at the school right at this particular time, God’s timing in
every step. And every teacher standing behind them and what they are going
through and letting Nickson know how they have prayed and have helped Mr. St.
Hilaire, even Mr. Frantz came to the hospital in the rain last night.

We thank everyone for their prayers and ask that you please continue and we
will keep you posted.

In Christ,
Dottie

God bless,
Dottie
