I didn't want to sleep in the hospital bed, alone. So I actually slept with Scott on the couch. :-) We were so tired the small space didn't seem to matter... to me anyway, I just wanted to be close to my AMAZING husband!!!
Watching the sunrise from our hospital room, it was a beautiful view, inside and out.
Joni and Kids come down to visit, what FUN!!!
Grandpa Val and Aunt Nancy come to visit as well.

66 orphans come home!
January 30th, 2010
An amazing pilot named Jake Yockers and his crew refused to leave the tarmac in Port au Prince this morning until the orphans he had come to bring home to their families in the US were on it. He told them they could arrest him but he wasn't leaving. Around 5:45pm 66 children, Chareyl, Brent, Scott, and other volunteers landed in Miami. What a miracle. It is still a headache processing paperwork, but they are on US soil and the children's parents are on their way to Miami, will have them in their arms tomorrow, and will be able to take them home within a few days. It truly is a miracle. I have been following the situation very closely for the past 10 days and it has been INTENSE.

CRUTCHES FOR HAITI
I know this is short notice, but wanted to post it anyway....
If someone has crutches, I am willing to come pick them up if you aren't able to get them to a local drop off location. Please note as well, that just because they are gathering many on January 29th, there are some who are collecting them until March for Eagle Scout Projects. If you read this after Jan. 29th and have crutches to donate, I am willing to come pick them up and take care of getting them to those who are still gathering...
(A note from Shannon Cox, Co-Founder of Haitian Roots)
So many people ask me what they can do and here is something:
When my friend Kristin, asked her husband, Dan, what was the worst thing he'd had to do since arriving in Haiti on Tuesday he responded, "amputations." With this in mind, some of Dan's family decided to start collecting crutches to send to Haiti and the docs there thought it was a great idea. If you have access to crutches, old ones you aren't using, etc, please help out:
So here is the plan...
BRONZE EFFORT: Check your garage, closets, attics for the forgotten set of crutches and get them to a drop off location. (Goto www.crutchesforhaiti.blogspot.com for locations.)
SILVER EFFORT: Send this email to your list of friends and family...the more the better!
GOLD EFFORT: Coordinate a similar collection at your workplace, school, or church. Just send us an e-mail (maryannfuhriman@msn.com) and we'll let you know how to get started. Remember we want to be done by Friday, January 29th. We'd like to launch all locations on Monday, January 25th.
We have coordinated getting the crutches to Haiti with "Healing Hands for Haiti" who already have a container ready to ship. Check out the blog www.crutchesforhaiti.blogspot.com to see why we decided to do this as well as other logistical information.
FYI
Crutches need to be in working order with tips and pads (they are very hard to replace)
Healing Hands for Haiti has also indicated the GREAT need for wheelchairs and pediatric walkers. We'll take those too if you happen to have them.

Foyer de Sion - New Orphanage In Port-au-prince
A little change in direction. My sister and I were in Guesno Marty's orphanages, here is a little clip, pre-earthquake about the new orphanages that is in the middle of being built. From what we've heard, this building is still standing. I'm anxious to see the haven that they are creating for the orphans.
