Clinic in Lemoa

Today, we had clinic in Lemoa. We had 27 medical patients to see.

We began praying with the patients outside the clinic. I could see that it was going to be a busy day and I enjoy that.

We had one patient who had suffered from a stoke and was unable to move the right side of his body. This is always a very difficult situation for the patient and also the family. He is also a diabetic and from listening to the family, he did not try to control it. Today, his blood sugar was so high that the meter could not read it.

On the other side of the diabetic story, we had a lady who now is controlling her blood sugar. She has been coming to the diabetic classes with some of her family. When she first came to the clinic, her blood sugar was 354. Today it was 172. We still have room for improvement but it is a start.

Two patients came for surgery. They are a mother and a son, who both have inguinal hernias. They will go to Montellano with us on August 6th and have surgery during that week.

Tomorrow, the guys and I will go to Choacoman IV for clinic.
