More details later, but for now, suffice it to say that our friend, Santiago Feliciano, needs our prayers. He had emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix, something that NEVER should have happened.
Anyway, I wanted to share some pictures to help remind folks who may not have been to Mexico for a while. He's truly one of a kind, and his need for medical assistance just reminds us all that we're vulnerable to all the same things and all need each other. His story is one that is common among the Tzeltal people....waiting until the pain is extreme before accessing institutional medical care, given a brief exam, then to be sent home with a prescription. Santiago is on the left in the picture. Even though he often jokes and smiles, catching a smile on camera is rare, so I had to post this one! That's Ezras, the caretaker of the Hebron Foundation House in Villahermosa on the right.
More details to follow, but for now, please keep Santiago, his family and his doctors in your prayers.
Paz,
Ginny
