Chuchipaca and a Baby Shower

Today Katy and I headed to Chichi and picked up Juan and Maury. We then drove to Chuchipaca and had clinic with 14 patents. We saw some young babies so this made Katy's day!

One patient asked us to visit his house because his son was too sick to come to the clinic. After we had seen all of the patients, we packed up our gear and drove to the house. His son was laying on a mat when we arrived and there were also about 10 other family members waiting for us. The son was 43 years old and complained of cough, fever and being very weak. After Katie examined him, she gave him an antibiotic, something for his cough and also something for his fever. She then examined the wife who also complained of a cough and also gave her some medicine.

We prayed with the family and told them about the clinic in Chuchipaca twice a month. They asked us about having clinic in their area so maybe this will open a door for a future clinic.

Tonight after when we arrived back in Quiche, it was time for Sonya's baby shower. She is married to Josefina's brother David. David is a physician and works at Clinica Ezell in Montellano. There were about 40 people at the shower and it was very nice.
One lady led some songs and another lady talked about Hannah and Samuel from the Old Testament.

It has been a very busy week but a safe one........Gracias a Dios!
