Connie's new friend in Chuchipaca

This morning we drove to Chichi to pick up the Sowel's, Tomas and Juan. We then continued to Chuchipaca and we started clinic promptly at 0900. Even though it was a small clinic, I hope that the patients we saw feel better.

One patient presented with a blood sugar of 309 two weeks ago. We discussed changing her diet and using some medication. Today her blood sugar was 179 and she said she felt some better. I hope that she will return in two weeks and we will see even more of an improvement.

This little girl and Connie began a "conversation'' in their own language. She was precious.

After clinic we went to visit Lisa in her clinic. We parked the truck and proceeded to walk uphill through a cemetery. We met her co-workers and Lisa showed us the clinic. We are thankful that she was placed so close to Chichi........only God could have made this possible. She has less than 5 months left, then will serve 6 months in the hospital.......then she can return to our clinics :)

Tomorrow we will head to Xatinab I. I am really excited about returning to this community. We were last in Xatinab on July 18th and saw 57 patients. I blogged that day about taking the small child to the hospital. We have since heard he was released from the hospital and is doing much better. I am hoping to see him and his mother tomorrow.
