Six-year-old Christella was brought to Grace Children's Hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti by her parents. She was suffering from a fever and persistent cough and her mother, a vendor, and father, a driver, thought she had pneumonia. Once examined by the medical staff at the hospital the doctors determined that Christella had something even more threatening - tuberculosis. She was quickly admitted to Grace Children's Hospital to begin treatment for her illness. During her two-and-a-half month stay as an inpatient at Grace Children's Hospital, Christella was labeled the "funny" girl, due to her great sense of humor. She enjoyed attending school at the hospital and liked to watch TV with the friends she made on the ward. Christella's parents and siblings, who were very attached to her, visited her every day and sometimes even twice a day, even though they lived a distance from the hospital in Carrefour, a neighborhood on the south edge of Port-au-Prince. After 3 months of treatment in the inpatient ward, Christella was released from Grace Children's Hospital, but she continued to return weekly to the outpatient TB clinic at the hospital for her medication and follow-up exams for 6 months. Thanks to Grace Children's Hospital, Christella can return to her family healthy and happy.
