My 3 Week Old Sounds Flemmy

Africa, dura ... A September


We experienced a range of emotions lately.
joys, sorrows, triumphs, failures, questions, etc..

But is valuable food together. We know that God is with us and that the prayers of brothers and sisters we support. Where to start, so much to say!

the medical side (and emotional):

Yves made a relocation of a feeding tube into the stomach disinfected using a screwdriver.

Yves withdrew a broken branch, deeply embedded in the leg of a grandmother who did not bronchée (me, I would have fainted).

A life was certainly saved, that of a boy who had cerebral pallu (malaria). Yves had to leave his talents to find a vein and the needle.


A mother has brought his two weeks. She stopped eating for several days. It was cold and blue-green. Her little heart was too low (30 to 50 beats / min.) And lacked oxygen. She certainly had brain damage. His twin died at birth. All day we gave her care, but Yves knew it was a matter of time. Cheryl will be a very caring mother with the care she has given. We were already so attached to her. At dinner, she left us. Africa is so hard for little lives. First time, our hearts were wounded.


The clinic officially delivered his first baby. Just like us! We were not using Djallo. To complicate things a bit, it was a seat. Yves had "burst the waters" and all the amniotic fluid was green and brown watered. He did an episiotomy and the baby was out, but very difficult. We have revived the little and have fallen in love. Complications occurred a few hours later and we rushed mom (15 years) and baby. The mother died early and was given to a nurse. We expressed our great desire to adopt, but we did not have priority. For us it was like the flight. A second time, we broken heart broken ... but really! We had asked for a clear direction from God, but we did not imagine his refusal. He knew what He was exactemment. It has protected our hearts, because a week later the girl is dead.

"For I know the plans I have for you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29: 11

To lift our spirits, we used ultrasound handset to see if there was life on that side. We found our beautiful girl (Yves always hope ... it is not known yet but a boy sex is enjoyable!) Who squirmed all full with a small hiccup. It feels good to hearts of parents can be reassured. Thank you Lord for the same technology here in the depths of the bush.

Cheryl's getting better and better. His little belly begins to interfere when she squats down and need support when lying on the side. But that they are Good news!

The clinic is a victim of its success. Every day dozens of people come for treatment. Djallo is supposed to heal and prepare Yves clinic. But the latter is often involved in care and can not advance installation of the clinic, particularly when there are patients in every room. Yves definitely lives frustration. With the committee of the clinic, they decided to close for 2 weeks. The first week, women will go to a conference on island in the Atlantic and men go to Conakry to buy medicines, cement, etc.. The second week, all will start the task to "finish" the installation.

Ramadan (fasting done by musulmams) call by Lent, ended Oct. 15. was a very difficult month because all day the believers could not drink or eat while there was light (6 am to 19 pm), even if they worked in the field by a heat of 33 degrees. The last day was Day in the village and the women danced.

Three new boys are added to the group of 8. Moreover, the biblical teaching has begun and our house we can hear them singing every night. Those who come to Jesus Christ will be the leaders of tomorrow and will have a significant impact on their peers.

We plan to return to Canada allentours March 2. So two months before delivery as recommended by our gynecologist.

But by then, persevere in prayer:

• Stay focused on what God asks us

• Pregnancy

• Cheryl What can withstand the heat

• Our health is so fragile in Africa

• The decision by some villagers to confess Christ as Savior and Lord.

• The biblical teaching of the 11 children

• Clinic

You rewritten soon.

We spent three weeks very busy Ojagué.
Yves has put much effort in preparing the clinic. He will need more time than he thought. It must create what does not exist yet.

With the help of children, he had all the equipment out of a container into the inventory and classify.

There were so many in one room of the house and in parts of the clinic.
In addition, several boxes, there was a bit of everything ... well mixed.

The container tidy ...

The goal for the official opening with the dignitaries is planned for early November. Yves
will redouble efforts in the coming days to complete the task.


Still, Yves has made some medical experiments. He tied and cut his umbilical cord first and check the status of the placenta. What good preparation for the April-May.

Also, it ripped two teeth, one of which was the third Visible ... re ste having suffered the fate of cavities. He had the help of Dj hello and remembered the advice of Michel Berger, dentist (some publicity ) and Naomi Gilbert.


There are at iff the small Mamadou, who had been "treated" at home but Yves has really had compassion on seeing the village walk with pain. He raised the skin of the wound and pulled out 3 small pieces of wood.

It is wonderful veilleux can make a difference in the lives of these people so poor. But it is very little compared to what Jesus did in ours. We were lost and lost face eternity but Jesus said

" I am the way, truth and life.
no man cometh unto the Father but through Me. " John 14:6

What words clear for n e: a single path, a Truth and eternal life is only in Jesus Christ.

Cheryl gets better. She has more good days than bad. It must make some naps during the day and eat a little, but régulièremen t, to decrease nausea. It's always a great subject of prayer.

It was coming through the bush on a motorcycle with Yves. She returned all exitée.

What she liked most of her 3 weeks is the opportunity to have attended his first delivery. Home deliveries down on the floor of their room.

The baby and mom are doing well!
We look forward to offering them the comfort of a delivery room on a bed in a new clinic!

Cheryl is reassured to know that the conditions of confinement are different in Quebec.
