 Alexis, an earthquake victim, was suffering from internal bleeding when our medical team performed an emergency operation on her last night, January 17, 2010.
She wasn't expected to survive the night. But Alexis did survive and was in desperate need of a blood transfusion. In the final hours, we were able to assemble a transfusion kit.
Dr. Eckehart Wolff, an emergency relief doctor from HCJB Global, was not only willing to serve the wounded and injured in Haiti, but to give his own blood to save Alexis.
We give thanks and rejoice in the Lord for meeting this need and providing a source of encouragement. Amidst all the death and destruction, we serve a living God and He is performing miracles every second!
Update: Alexis later passed away from her injuries. Tuesday morning, January 19, 2010, her blood pressure started to drop. As a result her kidneys failed and her lungs collapsed. The doctors were breathing manually for her for an hour, but they simply couldn't save her. We praise God that Alexis was a Christian. Her brother, who was with her, is also a believer. After she died he said, "She is much better now and with Jesus." Then he turned to the doctors and thanked them for doing all that they had done to serve her.
You can be a part of saving lives in Haiti.
