This morning, we left with Dieuferly for a consultation concerning his club-feet. With us was Joker, our mechanic, Emmanuel, who works for us in the Dominican Republic, and Philemond, our driver. We picked up RL en route. RL is the man who lined up the doctor appointments for us. He and his wife, Vanessa, have been very helpful in organizing all this.
We went to the first doctor, and he did the examination on Dieuferly’s feet. Then, he referred us to the second doctor, Dr. Frias. It was RL who made this second appointment happen because the doctor was not supposed to work today. He examined Dieuferly’s feet and then sent him for X-rays. After an hour, Dieuferly had not come back. One of the X-ray machines was broken! We waited a while, and finally, they got the other X-ray machine working. During that time, Dieuferly’s doctor had disappeared! We waited for quite a while and almost left. (We would have had to drive that distance back the next day.) Just as we were about to leave, the doctor appeared. The reason no one could find him was that he had gone into surgery!
Tomorrow, the doctor will be giving us the report on the X-rays and what the next step will be. We will head back to Fond Parisien this weekend. We want to thank everyone who prayed for Dieuferly. Keep the prayers coming!!
God bless you.
