Wi, nou kapab! (yes, we can)

A twenty-four year old mother from Peredo (near Marigot) brought her three
month old ill son to be seen early Tuesday morning. Dr. Garron Lukas diagnosed the child with Scalded Skin Syndrome, which he believes developed from a staph infection. The mother reports that it started with a small blister on the child’s chest and spread quickly over the past five days. Due to the severity of the infection, the mother and child were driven to Saint Michael Hospital in Jacmel by M. Boyer. Once at the hospital it likely that child will be given IV fluids and antibacterial medicine. As for a prognosis, Dr. Lukas explains “It all depends on how the child responds to the treatment." Fortunately, Dr.  Frantzo Nelson, a Haitian Physician, works here and Saint Michael pediatric ward. We hope he will provide us with good news in the coming days.
 
Shellie Coleman reports, an sick infant seen in May has returned much improved! A fifteen month old boy named Wilder gain 8 pounds. When seen in May, the infant was vomiting and had diarrhea. The infant was given a poor prognosis as he was lethargic and had no appetite. Now Wilder is active, eating, and playing. What a pleasant surprise!

“I am really excited about the exceptional numbers," says FOTCOH CEO Dick Hammond. "Bob Hoy is happy too. But it is going to be more difficult everyday
to keep up."
