Today, we had clinic in Lemoa with the MET students. They were a big help, as we had 38 patients.
I started the day with babies who may have surgery in the August plastic clinic in Montellano.
I apologize for the photos. It was not a good camera day.......
This is Anastacia (pink shirt) and her family. Her lip was repaired in February 2010. When she returned to have her palate repaired she had a fever in the operating room so they cancelled her surgery. Her father had his lip repaired several years ago and now he wants to have his palate repaired.
This is Aubrey with Yony and his mother. Yony is 6 months old right now.
This is Diego and he is months old. Both of these babies need to gain 3-4 pounds so I am not sure if they will make the August clinic. We may have to wait until February, when they will be a little bigger.
This is Kelsey with Hector Fredy. He had his lip done in February 2011. Unfortunately, he fell on his mouth only one month after his surgery so his scar is larger than usual. We will see if anything can be done about this.
After the babies, I saw a variety of patients. One gentleman saw Lisa last week, with a blood sugar of 579. Today, he was 153! He and his wife are so excited. Lisa did a great job of teaching them about the diet! They told me that they will be in the class tomorrow.
After all of the patients were seen, Lisa helped the students with practicing injections.
Tomorrow, we have a diabetic class and Gabby will be with is during that.
