Clinic in Chuchipaca

Lisa, Dee, the guys and I went to Chuchipaca today for clinic. We had 16 medical patients but unfortunately no dental cleanings for Gaspar. He instead translated Kiche' for Lisa. Dee helped Juan with the vital signs before the consult.

We had one of our favorite patients back today. He is feeling so much better and told us how he can pick up his stick if he drops it. In the past, he would have to ask someone to get it for him if he did drop it. He is always so cheerful and with a smile. When we see him I think of Sarah S. who was with us when he came to clinic the first time.............he loves the medicine and is very thankful to God for his progress.

That smile is always there and he is able to work again.

Tomorrow it will be the day to return to Antigua with Dee because her flight is at 0600 Monday morning. She has enjoyed the week and has learned more about Health Talents and the work being done with the local Churches of Christ. We pray that she has a safe flight home and that she will be able to return for another visit.
