Sonel loves it when you tell him he's going to the doctor. He gets all excited. We went to see the surgeon and he was fine. The doctor started removing his socks to look at his feet and he started crying and he cried the whole time! Dr. D was going to try to put cast on his feet for several weeks, but after seeing Sonel's feet, he decided to just go for the surgery. He said his feet were to rigid for the casts to do any good. Sonel will have pins in his heels and ankles for 3 months...which means "no walking" for 3 months! THAT will be hard! While on our doctor visit, we also stopped by a business that is donating a pediatric wheel chair for us to use. It's so cute...it's purple! I am amazed at the generosity of everyone. I am amazed at how God works on our behalf. If He sees every sparrow that falls...He sure knows our every need. Thank you JESUS!

SONEL'S JOURNEY
Sonel is in the US to have surgery on his 2 club feet. This blog is to record his journey to walking "normally". He walks, runs, and even dances on his club feet, but children with handicaps are not allowed to go to school in Haiti. I can't wait to see him wearing shoes for the first time!
About Me
- Brenda
- Peru, Indiana, United States
- A group from our church went to Haiti in June of 2006. My heart would never be the same. I can't wait to go back, but for now, I have a little bit of Haiti with me. My family and I are hosting a little boy with 2 club feet, that will be corrected by castings and surgery, over the next few months. We have a grand daughter, Hope, age 9, that lives with us and is a great help and playmate for Sonel. We are taking one day at a time and letting God lead us in our journey of watching this little boy be changed forever.
