the last couple times i have been to sonels to change his dressings he has mentioned how the floor he was laying on was so hard. (he is the guy who fell from the mango tree in june) i couldn't blame him for saying that i know he wanted a bed, but he didn't ask. he was laying on a piece of carpet on a dirt floor. no wonder he has horrible pressure ulcers. it is so hard to lean down and change his dressings, move him, or get him into his wheelchair from the floor. so yesterday we made the trek to his house. i had some help because i don't think there was anyway i could have carried a bedframe or mattress to his house. two guys carried a bed for him up and down the hills to his house! matt (an intern here) carried the frame, ceremond one of the haitians who works here carried the bed, and erin and i went along to encourage them!!

Melissa, you are living your life well...As a matter of fact, you are living your life as a well...of living water for those who are thirsty. I desire to do the same...tomorrow and everyday. I will be praying for your concerns. Love, Gail
I miss you so much. But I'm glad to see you're getting Sonel and so many others hooked up with good things. :)
