Second Clinic day

We finished a second clinic day today. We saw a lot of patients, the village today that came were healthier than the village we saw yesterday. We sent two people to the hospital today. One man was a diabetic with a very high blood sugar who needed his medication. We also sent a lady who probably has breast cancer and she is young. We found out that she will have surgery on Tuesday for the mass. She is sad, and we have prayed for her and thought so much about her. We sent three people to the hospital yesterday. Two children with very high fevers and dehydration. One lady had rabies yesterday and she was the third person we sent to the hospital. We thought she may lose three fingers but we found out today that she was not going to lose her fingers. The rabies vaccine was being delivered to the hospital yesterday at the same time we took the patient. God is so on time. Everything is working out and he is so AWESOME!!
On this Maudy Thursday, we remember what Christ went through for us. We will be thinking and praying about CCC's service.

Please remember us on Easter and continue to pray for us!!!!!!

Hello cuz!! Sounds like your having the experience of a lifetime. I have talked to your mom everyday, sometimes more, she's doing great and so is Kiera! I read her everything that is written. I just heard Jess didn't know it was you and missed your call. Your mom said to tell you hello and she loves you. I just can't wait to hear your stories and see the pictures. I'll call her when I get home and read her everything thats posted today. I'm going to get Ron's email and send him the site, he wants to write you. He said to tell you he loves you and sorry he got the weeks mixed up, he called the other night to tell you to have a good trip. We love, I know your having a great time, take care and we're praying for you daily. Love Kim

Hi Gina, from Lynette

hi Gina,

I don't know if i have been responding correctly on this thing. ??? So, sounds like you are having a great time doing your favorite work. Everything is fine here. We miss you. I want to know if you have had enough pocho and beans yet? What does it taste like? I hope you're getting enough sleep. I cannot imagine being in an environment like that, it really makes you think, huh? Take good care!

Lynette

Hey mom its Jessica. She just called me back and her and kira are fine. Said to tell you that Ron called because he had wrote on his calender that you were leaving today and wanted to talk to you before you left. Love you from all of us.

all I can say is WOW

Hey Jess...miss you terribly. Please try again to call grandma and make sure she is doing ok. You know that she is always up late, so maybe try to call her tonite after you get off of work!! I would love to hear that Grandma and Kira is doing ok! Can't wait to tell you about all the people we've seen and cared for. The people and the culture here is unlike anything you can imagine!! Blog back once you do talk to Grandma. Love you!! MOM

Just another normal Thursday

Wow today was our second day of clinic. Me with my numerous medical skills have really come in handy! Actually I have been counting pills for the pharmacy in my lull periods. I am working registration and have an intrepretor, Acrum. Acrum is 13, and we are becoming wonderful friends. It is breaking my heart the number of kids who are coming in without parents who have walked miles. Yesterday there was a 7 yr old boy who carried his 4 yr old sister on his back. We have to make one of the siblings go back and get a parent or relative in order for us to be able to treat them.

I am having the time of my life as I knew I would. I am so thankful I followed God's will. I have thouroughly enjoyed my notes of encouragement, I am opening them one each day. Peace out from Africa!

Gina,
Its your daughter! I have posted, check the comments on the blog you wrote earlier this week. I hope your getting back into the swing of "real" nursing. Can't wait to hear about all of your experiences and the people you've helped. Tried to call grandma so that i could write a message from her but she didn't answer. Love you and miss you!
