Clinic in San Jose

Today, I went to clinic with Josefina and her group in San Jose. It was a small clinic of 9 medical patients and Tomas had 1 dental cleaning.

There was time in between patients for Josefina and I to talk about different things. She has less than a year of school left and then she will be done. It has been a challenging time for her but I think she has done well.

She had one patient that came and told her about an accident he and his wife had been in. It sounded as if it had been an serious one and the truck/ car had gone off an embankment. Josefina encouraged he husband to return with his wife and she did come to the clinic in the next hour.

While we were waiting for the patient, the little girl that lives there went and picked guayaba fruit for us. We washed it in the pila and ate it. It was very good

The wife did come for a consult and Josefina talked to her about her injuries. The injuries were minor and for that we are very thankful. The lady told Josefina that she is a Christian and that she knows how blessed she is since she was not hurt more than she was. They talked about God's plan for each of us and sometimes we do not understand why things happen and yet God is always with us. Josefina prayed with her and she was very appreciative of the consult and the medicine.

We went to Carris to have lunch and see if we needed to help out.

Two of the cleft-lip babies came for exams.

Gloria continues to have some problems with her eyes and needs an ultrasound now.
Marvin came for his first consult so we will continue to watch him for surgery in August.

We had dinner with Ric and Nathan again tonight and wished them the best travels back to The States.
