Tuesday in Clinica Ezell

Bring out the patients!!!

The hall filled quickly with patients this morning.

Lana, PA Student taking a child from the operating room to recovery. The transition can be very over-whelming for the family. The nursing staff help buffer the transition and explain things to the family.

Leslie takes care of a patient as she comes out of the operating room.

Jane, Jason and Marta meet with a patient before surgery. Marta places the IVs in the patients before surgery and then they wait until their turn.

Jennifer measuring out some medicine. Jennifer has been great in teaching the nursing students during the week.

Bartolo enjoys his lunch. He played more with his hand in the cup than he drank it.

Sylvia and Nydia work with a patients in the dental clinic.

In April, I came to Clinica Ezell with Lisa and Kemmel. We did the follow up visit for the medical patients. At that time, Lisa and I met this young lady, Elena. She remembered me and is just very thankful that she had met Lisa and could have surgery here. A.C. sits and talks with Elana after surgery.

Antonio and his parents continue to patiently wait for his surgery on Wednesday.

Anastacia was suppose to have surgery today but when they got her back to the operating room, her temperature was 105.0 degrees. Rosario called a laboratory in Chicacao and asked them stay open for an extra 30 minutes. She got a blood specimen and we took it to the lab. Her WBCs were elevated so she will be started on antibiotics.

Tonight we had a devotional time together. We prayed for each patient by name and know that our God will answer that prayer.
