Louidy needs your prayers...

 

Let me introduce you to our dear friend, Louidy. On October 8th he had a bad moto accident. A tap tap bus hit him while he was riding his bike, dragged him and then drove over his arm. The driver of the tap tap stopped, picked him up and brought him over to our clinic. We couldn't do anything for him, our clinic is to small for such major injuries, so we rushed him into Port with our ambulance. The hospital admitted him right away and he spent the next week there. His skull was cracked, he got stitches in his head, both arms were badly beat up, one needed stitches, the other surgery, and he had lots of road rash. You can see on the picture above some of the road rash on his back. Before they could do surgery on his arm, they needed blood from red cross. They went to get it, and here they said they wouldn't give them the blood till they had 8 people donate, so a group of us went in and gave blood. They did surgery then, and all went good. A week after the accident happened, Louidy was on his way home, the tap tap driver that hit him, brought him home. He should have died in the accident, but God chose to save his life!! Praise the Lord! Now... 3 weeks later infection has set into his arm where he had surgery! We girls go over and change his bandages for him and this past week noticed a start of infection. We sent them into town to the hospital that did the surgery, but here the nurse just changed the dressings and never even called the doctor to look at it, and now it is worse!! We contacted 2 doctors and they have telling us what to do, but tomorrow he has to go back into Port. He hasn't been able to go back into town because of hurricane Sandy pouring down buckets of water since Tuesday, and as a result of that, there are lots of swollen creeks, that turned into raging rivers! This bridge between us and Port, is washed out...

...they are fixing it, and supposedly tomorrow we should be able to get through. But now there is a roadblock on the other side cause the village isn't happy how they have made a temporary road through the river and now the water is routed through their village. Please pray that Mike will be able to get to town safely with Louidy tomorrow, and that the doctor will know how to help his bad infection!

 

Because of the accident, and God sparing Louidy's life, he has decided to accept Christ into his life and wants to come to church with his older brother Ramoncite. Please pray for these 2 brothers, they are the only 2 Christians in their family!
