Right away I recognized two patients and I was glad to see them. I do not want them to be sick and have to return but it is good to know they will return if they need something.
The first little boy was Carlos. We saw him the first time on May 15 and he was having a difficult time breathing. His dad took him to the hospital and he was hospitalized a month before going home. Today he had a little fever and was not feeling good.
Tomasa also returned. She was the patient that had the 12 pound tumor removed in April. She is still feeling much better but had a skin rash today. I encouraged her to call me again when she wants to attend worship and we will go to Chichi where they speak more K'iche'.
Today was a new patient, Carolina and her photo is below. I explained that I live in North Carolina and she like that.
Here is Carolina with her grandmother and her mother.
One patient returned today, Josefa, that will have surgery in October down in Clinica Ezell. It will be nice to be down there when she is there having a hysterectomy done. It allows us to talk with the patients and get to know them on different levels. We had one lady come today that is very nervous and hurts all of the time. Her name is Bertini. The more Gaspar and I talked with her we found out that her family is having a lot of problems and she is sure her husband is having affairs. She has two young children and this makes the situation even more difficult. We explained that more than ever, she needs Jesus in her life. She is Costumbre so she does not attend worship or read the Bible at all. I hope she will also call and attend worship with us on Sunday. I told her that her two young children would like the Bible class offered in Chichi for children.
Please pray for Tomasa, Bertini, Josefa and the other patients we saw today.
