It is Liette here, Karen’s daughter and it is with a very heavy heart that I post this message this morning.

I have just gotten news that it does not look like Serlande is going to make it through the day. Karen and Mommy Cecile are taking the children up to the hospital to say goodbye one at a time.

The doctors were just not able to find out what was wrong and because of the huge numbers of injured from the earthquake, the hospital ran out of laboratories supplies. The doctors tried valiantly, but have not been able to locate the supplies needed to run additional tests. The specialty hospital in Port-au-Prince has been destroyed and despite frantic phone calls to collegues in the US by the American doctor who is treating her, they have no idea what Serlande is suffering from.

Please pray for a miracle.

Please pray for Karen, for mommy Cecile and for all of the children.

I will post an update as soon as I hear anything.
