• What Olmsted's Syndrome has done to Karim's Feet

  Published: July 4, 2008, 5:49 pm

  I am sorry to show such a graphic picture, but I wanted you to know the reality of what Olmsted's Syndrome has done to Karim's feet. They are so painful. He cannot walk at all on them now, or stand on them. Tuesday he will have a nerve block to the feet and a plastic surgeon will remove the dead and infected skin from the bottom of his feet. This

  Published: July 2, 2008, 2:06 pm

  My husband, Joe, also known as Papa Joe, is so wonderful with Karim. Tonight he let Karim cover him in newspapers and put his small cap on his head. Karim laughed hysterically. I love to see this side of my husband. He is a good man and a good temporary "father." God bless you, Joe. Love, Liz

• A brief story of Fr. Yacoub's Church

  Published: June 28, 2008, 7:38 am

  On February 6, 2008, I felt a great call to restore this building (built by Fr. Yacoub in 1932, occupied by foreign armies during the civil war 1975-1990) and make it the first church dedicated to the new blessed (his beatification was in June 22, 2008) Fr. Yacoub the Cappuccin. I followed the same principles I had while building the Lamb of God

• My Friend, Abouna Antonio

  Published: June 27, 2008, 4:51 pm

  God gave me a beautiful gift in 2003 when I was given the gift of Father Antonio in my life. Sometimes he is funny and makes me laugh, like when he piles up cans, etc., at the dinner table, or when he massacres the "th" sound in the English language and declares that he cannot talk with his tongue between his teeth. We go around and around

  Since Karim cannot walk at all now because of his infected feet, he enjoys riding along behind my bicycle. Here Andy is towing him. He loves it!

• Karim's First Doctor Appointments

  Published: June 25, 2008, 2:00 pm

  Karim saw his dermatologist, Dr. Van Ittersum, yesterday. He said Karim's feet are infected, which did not surprise me at all, judging by the looks of them and the odor. He is now on antibiotics. He is going to concentrate on making Karim feel better this year. His feet are so bad that Dr. Van Ittersum did not want to attempt removing the dead,

  It is the most beautiful night ever. We can see the fruits of our efforts + God's grace + SAints' intercession. I got out to the streets of the town at 7:30 pm, not knowing what to expect.
