Clinic in Chuchipaca and home visits

Today we had clinic in Chuchipaca.  Manuel, Sara and I went from Chichi and met Cesibel ad Cesar there.  Cesibel gifted us some of the earliest plums of the season.  They are awesome!  Thank you, Cesibel.

As we had clinic, Manuel went to help with transporting some building materials for the church in Xepol.  I think he had a real busy time getting this work done.

We had about 9 patients.  There was nothing unusual........

After clinic, we were invited to have lunch at Cesar's home.  We enjoyed a very good chicken soup, tortillas, chili and a papaya beverage. 

Cesar was concerned with his mothers blood pressure since she has a history of high blood pressure.  We gave her some medicine and asked her to follow-up in the next month.

Then we went to visit a patient with cardiac insufficiency.  It is hard to see someone suffer, with not a lot of hope of getting better.  We explained things to the family, gave her some more medicine and then we prayed with her.

It is now the weekend............time to study, clean, do laundry and get caught up on things.
