Friday - think of Willie

Please keep our young friend Willie in mind as he is now in the hospital in Santo Domingo after riding with us fron San Juan.

Willy is eight years old and weighs only 28lbs. He has a congenital problem with his bowels known as Hirschprung's Disease and has recently developed diabetes. He was brought to the clinic at the same time as our team, so our medical team became involved in his care. He needs surgery to correct his bowel problem, but is currently too sick for the surgery. This week, his blood sugar has come down, and he feels much better, but still has a long way to go. He is travelling with us to Santo Domingo where he will be admitted to the hospital for continued care. Please keep Willy and his family in your prayers.
