Fran and I visited around today.......

Yesterday, when we saw Magda in Santa Cruz she mentioned that she would like to have her eyes checked. Kemmel tried to make her some glasses the other day when he was running his eye clinic but was unable to help her.

We picked her up this morning and she knew exactly where to go. We walked with her through Santa Cruz and she would stop and chat a few minutes with people that she knew. The eye clinic advertised computer eye exams. She walked right in for her exam and it seemed to take quite a while.

Eventually, they returned to the waiting room and he said he could help one eye but she may need surgery in the other. He seemed very confident that the glasses would help. We may return and get those for her on Thursday. Magda said we would pray for her eye that needs surgery and that God will fix it for her.

We ate a quick lunch and then went to the hospital to visit Santos Elias. He is the 7 year old that saw Lisa last Thursday at the clinic. She persuaded the parents to take him to the hospital and he looks very good!

He was sitting up in a wheelchair with his pajamas on and his chest tube was draining a small amount of red drainage. The parents are not sure when he will get to go home but they seem very comfortable there and Santos did not seem to mind the attention he was getting.

I took some of the coloring books and crayons that the South Fork Church of Christ sent with me to him. This is Santo with his parents. Yes, they wanted the photo when I asked them but then the mom looked down.

Santo starting to color with his new book and markers.
Fran and I returned to the house for the afternoon. We did our laundry and then Fran made us some guacamole and a salad with cucumbers, tomatos, onions, cilantro and vinegar. How do you like that??? Invite someone to stay with you and then have them prepare dinner for you!!! What a treat. Thank you, Fran!
Tomorrow we will go to Lemoa for our educational day.

Sherri,

Why did Santo's need a chest tube? Infection?
