Last week was an incredible one in the prosthetics lab. 4 more haitians went from one leg and crutches to two legs. :)
We had two little boys, one 4, Junior, and one 7, Kervins. I am in love with both of them!!!
We also had Desire, who's been waiting to marry his fiance until he found someone to make him a leg... this puts tears in my eyes as I write! These two were truly in love, and soooo happy and grateful that Desire finally got a leg! He was a pre-earthquake amputee, and his leg got taken as he was walking down the road and a car hit him. Lastly, we had a sweet old man named Jean Pierre, (sorry, no photos), but I truly loved him too! He was told after his surgery that he'd never walk again, as there were complications with the amputation. BUT, he was a miracle case who got up the first time after putting his leg on, and walked all around the lab with no crutches or parallel bars, and NO PAIN!!! Miracle. :)
Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. :)
