Yesterday we called and got to talk to Jackson. As many of you know, we brought Jackson out of the mountains of Savaan Pit, Haiti. He had a HUGE belly full of water, caused by Kwashiorkor Malnutrition. Even though he no longer has this huge belly to carry around, he developed severe kidney problems.

For the last few months, we have had to take him back and forth from Haiti to the Dominican Republic (DR). We have had to buy a Dialysis Machine in the DR, and we will have two of our Love A Child (LAC) nurses learn how to do this. (The machine will go back to Haiti with Jackson, and he will get Dialysis at our orphanage.)

We talked to Jackson yesterday after he was released from the Hospital. We had to rent a small apartment for the Dialysis training, and it will also be used for many trips to the DR for other LAC children who will need special care, like Yonel. Jackson seemed happy and in good spirits. He has had a lot of counseling by doctors to understand what he is up against. Thank you for your prayers and love for Jackson.

P.S. We are headed to the DR today and will be going by to see Jackson.
