Clinic in Chuchipaca

Several of us went to Chuchipaca for clinic today. I was a smaller clinic, in size, than we usually have but I trust that lives were touched. We never know what needs that patients have but they are not always physical, in nature.

This is the group as they were checking in. We welcomed everyone and then prayed. Matthew and Josue are standing where we had the pharmacy area.  Josue was very complimentary on how Matthew worked in the pharmacy.

This is Adriana and Lori, who took vital signs before the patients had their consults.

Hannah worked again with the children and she did a great job.  She noticed that the children were a little slower getting started today from when we were in Paxot II.  The difference may be that we have the ABC Program in Paxot II.  This type of activity may be new to these children if they have not been to a clinic before.

Aura, Marcos and Maury in the dental area.  Aura, is our dental student and she is in her fourth year of dental school.  She continues to do well and we look forward to the time that she will work with us full-time.

We had about 25 medical patients and about the same for dental.

I saw one new diabetic that said she would return in fifteen days.  There was one gentleman that needs to have cataract surgery and one lady that continues to suffer from being assaulted.

After clinic, we returned to Clinic Carris to empty the trucks.  The group will enjoy the market tomorrow after our worship and then we will travel to Guatemala City.  Please pray for our safe travels.
