Heureuse Means Happy

The following is a nonedited online chat I had with Dejean (Frandy) today regarding Heureuse. Heureuse is the 29-year-old Haitian gal who needs repeat heart surgery. Dejean is our 19-year-old Haitian young man who helps Haitian Hearts on the ground in PAP when we are not there. Please pray we find a medical center for Heureuse very soon.

She was operated at OSF-Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria in 2002, but OSF will not allow her to return for repeat heart surgery.
