Clinica in Mixpilla

Today I went to Mixpilla with Dr. Walter for a clinic. We saw about 12 patients. Many patients had problems with gastritis, asthma, back pains and allergies. I was also able to work with Dr. Ed who is a family practice physician.

The first photo is of Michelle and Brandon playing with the children. Brandon had a puppet and they enjoyed playing with him. Michelle lives in Colorado and will finish nursing school in another year.

The second photo is of Edgar who had his lip repaired today. He rested well today and did not have very much pain after his surgery.

The third photo is of Margarita who is seeing her photo for the first time after her surgery. Her father has been at her bedside since they arrived. He has even spent time at other beds offering support to other concerned parents and family members. Margarita's mother has not been able to be here so she will really be pleased when she sees Margarita for the first time.

We had eleven surgical patients today and they all have done well. We pray for each patient in our nightly devotional by name.

Tomorrow I will go to another clinic with Dr. Walter, Dr. Ed and others who want to learn more about medical mobile clinics.
