Another child dies

On Tuesday afternoon a child arrived to
the center very weak. His Hgb was
2.0. He had a low grade fever and mild
pneumonia. We took him to the
hospital. The next morning he was
suppose to receive blood from his
mother who had the same blood type. It
took 5 hours for the Red Cross Blood
Dept. to get the blood. In the
meantime he went into respiratory
distress. Sister Anna and I watched
him die at the hospital. As we walked
out the blood bank person arrived with
the blood. He was very high risk sent
to a hospital that really doesn't have
the abilities to help him. This was my
most frustrating day in Haiti.
