Miloura came to the clinic because she had recently been sick... but it was not her flu symptoms that kept her in our hearts. When Miloura was a baby she broke both legs, just above the ankles. There was no medical care available to her so the bones healed without being set properly. The team had heavy hearts as there was nothing they could do and they knew if the right equipment & skills were available something could be done. Her mother had taken amazing care of her but it was clear that life had been very hard for them both.
Well, that equipment & those skills are now available to Miloura - she is having a consultation with a surgeon in Port-au-Prince tomorrow morning!!!
To make a long story very short... one of the team members heard of a surgical team from Vancouver going to Port-au-Prince and we miraculously located Miloura and arranged for her to be seen by the team. We are praying that they will be able to operate on her legs - if not this week (during their trip), than in a few months (when they return to Haiti).
