I wanted to update everyone about the French family's baby which I told you about earlier. The baby is still in the hospital and there is a chance he will lose both his feet and parts of his fingers. He had something that I think is called "purpurea" which interfered with the blood supply to his feet and hands. At first they expected him to lose his hands entirely, but they have managed to save them all the way down to most of the fingers. They are hoping to save his feet as well, but right now it doesn't look all that promising. He is out of a coma now (I believe they induced the coma), but he is still on a respirator.
It looks like the French embassy is working with the family to bring a French doctor here to Bogota. The hope is that they can stabilize the baby well enough to get him home to France. I think the doctor will travel with him. If they can, they will travel in about a week. Again, thank you for your prayers for this family.
