Sara and Zacualpa

Sara went with Tomas, Enrique and I to Zacualpa today.

Sara is from El Salvador and first came to help us in November.  She enjoyed the work and had decided to move and work with Health Talents full time.  We are excited to have her and pray that she enjoys the work as much as we do.

In Zacualpa, we had 3 patients.

We visited a patient in her home and it is a very sad situation.  The patient is 36 years old and can not walk.  She has a history of seizures, severe arthritis and is confined to her bed.  She has a young girl who cares for her.  Her physical issues are only one part of the problem.  Another aspect, are the emotional issues that come from being confined to a bed for two years.  Such a sad situation.

When we finished, we stopped for a quick fried chicken lunch and then continued to Lemoa for a meeting.

When we arrived, there were more patients to be seen so we grabbed a few that were in line.

About five years ago, in Chocaman VI, we followed a patient during her pregnancy.  Now she has a set of twins.  This is Sara with one of the twins.

This is Joel with is two sisters and mom.

This was the day when I told Joel's parents that they could soon expect an addition to the family!

It was a good day!
Tomorrow, we will have clinic in Panjaxit.
