Update on Chelemaque

Chelemaque Stamand, our cleft palate baby, was finally able to get the first of his reparative surgeries out in Port au Prince at the Bernard Meves hospital on November 5, thanks to a special surgery team who came in.  He will need at least one more surgery and probably several checkups, but this is progress...praise the Lord!

Please keep this little guy in your prayers, as he still has a hard road ahead of him.  He had a fairly severe case of pneumonia right after his surgery, but seems to be doing better now.  I'll try to keep you up to date as we hear back from them how things are going.
