We had nine patients today. Dr. Stan did all of the work while the rest of us provided the support that he needed :) This photo is of Joshua weighing a small baby with Donna, Sarah and Juan making sure it is being done correctly. The baby had gained a little weight and is doing well.
We took two students, Michael and Taylor with us today. This photo is of Michael and Joshua playing marbles with the guys. It went something like, if you hit another marble you get two points, if you hit the cat you get five...........just joking. The cat should be smart enough not to walk across the playing field :)
On a very serious note, I finally had a chance to find out more about Marta. Her grandfather brought her to the clinic several months ago and we referred her to the hospital. I have always been concerned about her but could never get any information when I asked. Today when I asked again, her grandfather told me that she has cancer and is very sick. I asked him to please bring me the information they received from the hospital because we may be able to help them. He said that he will, so I hope he does.We eventually made it to Paxot II. We were served a late lunch of pepian chicken, rice, tamalitos and Coke.
Here Sarah tries her hand at making tortillas. Kelsey and Michael are in the back also helping out.
Kemmel introduced us to these girls today. He said last year they both had appendicitis' just a few weeks apart. They both had surgery and did very well.
We have already had some response for helping babies with cleft lips and palates. I will need to be getting more baskets to be ready when another child is brought to clinic. If you are interested in helping with the cost of these, please email Jane. Her photo and email is on the right side of the blog. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and comments. We really appreciate them!
