Two Babies

Our friend, Don from Indiana, went to Hospital Escuela on Monday. As everyone is when they go there, he was very touched. He met a couple of babies with which we really connected. One was an eleven month old baby boy that was having heart surgery yesterday. He prayed with the mother. The other was a few day old baby boy that had club feet and severe breathing problems and possibly other problems. He had been abandoned in the hospital.


Don and his daughter leave tomorrow. He asked if we could take him back to the hospital today to check on these babies. Of course, we could. We found the baby who had surgery. His mother was holding him and smiling. The surgery was successful. We said a prayer of thanksgiving with her.


We also found the other baby. He was in a little crib in the corner by himself. Not even identification or age was on his crib. Both legs were in casts, in an attempt to correct the problem with the club feet. As bad as this precious baby's breathing was, Don said it was better. He had the least little cry. I am not sure what anyone else did, but I prayed over this little one. A nurse came in and began to give him a bottle. We started to leave, walked out, and then walked back in to look at him again.


I have no idea what may become of this little one, but I think he needs a lot of prayers.
