Djo seemed to be getting better by the day, but all of a sudden he had a stroke and as he was a;ready ill, it really damaged him and his condition. He became a vegetable, alive...just! It was like there was a body lying there but nothing inside of it. The doctors warned Jeremie that this was how Djo was going to be for the rest of his so called "life". For us, the choice would seem easy, but for Jeremie it was a hard and heart-breaking one. Her family was behind her all the way, but of course urged her to leave La Saline and go to France. With some gentle persuasion Jeremie said her final goodbye to Djo, who once used to be her everything! She left, and although some distance away she kept in touch with her family and Sister Claire. Jeremie knew it was never going to happen, but always asked if there was any change in regard to his condition. It was always "stable". Via her weekly telephone calls to home, she found out that Father Aristide had got the post as president, despite what the Tonton Macoutes thought of him. He helped towards making a better life for the Haitians but it did not last for long, does anything...??
