After spending a few days in Port-au-Prince trying to fly out – Jose was confirmed on tickets to leave today!! I’m so excited! Yesterday he was at the airport from 6am – 7pm trying to go stand-by out of Haiti and the flights weren’t just full – but way oversold. It’s been a frustrating few days for him and for all of us who really miss him and want him home.
The babies have been very colicky…crying almost non-stop. It’s been very overwhelming. I know their little bellies must hurt because you can see them arching their backs. Yesterday my mom spent most of the day crying with them – just feeling so helpless to make them feel better.
A good friend of ours (who has been to Haiti several times and works at Tomoka Christian Church in Florida) has a little daughter named Jael. She reminds me a lot of Malaya. She started having headaches a few days ago and they found out yesterday that she’s got a brain tumor. She’s having surgery today. I always think the scariest part of having children is when you’re pregnant. When they come out perfect it seems like you shouldn’t have to worry about them getting sick. I know this isn’t the case but it just seems like it should be. Please be in prayer for the Kennedy family during this very scary time.
hey jody. i’ve always seen Jael in Malaya as well. I have a picture of all of your girls that you sent to us in my office and many people have seen malaya and thought that it was jael. thanks for the prayers.
