Clinic in Lemoa

Today, we had a very busy day. We began our morning with a devotion together and then prayed with the patients before we started clinic.

We saw 29 medcial patients and Gaspar had 7 dental cleanings. The new addition to the clinic is coming along and this is great. We have overgrown the clinic and need more space to care of all the patients.

These are the latest photos.



We had many diabetics today. All of the ones that I saw were well controlled, except one. One gentleman came to the clinic for the first time with a blood sugar of over 500. Today was his third visit and he was 184. Yes, he has some room for improvement but he is learning.

Another patient came to the clinic two weeks ago with severe headaches. His blood pressure was 198/104 and today he was 130/70. I can see why he feels much better now and I am thankful for that.

After the clinic, everyone met back at Carris for a meeting and to talk about some of the changes that will be taking place this year. We will be adding three more people to the team and Gaspar will be working as our evangelist. I think he will do a great job and be a positive influence for our patients.

Please remember in your prayers a young guy that lives in Xepocol. His name is Oscar. He has been very sick and has gone to Guatemala City for exams but so far they can not determnine what is wrong. I know his family would appreciate your prayers.

Also, there is a surgical that will be return to The United States on Saturday. They have had a busy week in Montellano and soon will be returning home after spending a night in Antigua.

Tomorrow, there will be clinics in Chocaman IV and Mactzul II. I will be going with the group to Mactzul II to deliver more water filters to the ABC families. It will be another good day and I should have some more photos to share.
