Wednesday night I received a phone call that my Mom was on her way to the Emergency Room. She fell out of her wheelchair and hit her head. They did a CT scan. Everything was okay except the huge "tennis ball" size knot on her head. Thursday morning she had a kingsize blackeye.
Thursday David drove to Louisville to look at a dump truck that we need in Haiti. He and David Jr. then headed for Tupelo to attend the Global Outreach Spring Board meeting. I didn't go with them. Felt I was needed here more to help with Mom.
Tragedy struck the GO Haiti ministry on Friday around noon. While delivering materials into TiTanyen for the permanent housing a nine year old boy trying to hang on to the dump truck for a ride....along with many others who like to do this...fell under the wheels of the truck. He was rushed to the University of Miami field hospital located at the airport. After two surgeries he was pronouced dead at 4:15pm. Needless our staff was crushed over this sudden death. Police reports were filed and found no one at fault. The funeral of the young boy was Saturday afternoon. Please pray for the family of the deceased and our entire Am staff as they cope with this tragedy.
