This is the new blog we've set up to keep everyone up to date on Delcy's progress with heart surgery.

To give you a little background on Delcy. He is a 20 year old from Gros Morne, Haiti who needs a repair on one of the valves in his heart. The medical services in Haiti are unable to perform the surgery he needs and therefore the RJM sistes in Haiti have been working for about 6 years to get Delcy to the states for his much needed surgery.

A hospital in Omaha, Nebraska called Alegent Creighton Health Bergan Mercy Medical Center has agreed to do the surgery and provide supporting medical care for free. A anonymous donor has donated enough American Airline miles to fly Delcy from Haiti to the States and back again.The Bolte family also Omaha, Nebraska has also graciously agreed to open their home to Delcy for the estimated 6 weeks he will be in the United States.

Currently we are working on the process of applying for his visa and hope to have it in the next 2-3 weeks. We'll keep you all up to date on his progress as we continue along this journey.
