Clinic in Chicua I

This morning, several of us went to Chicua I to have a clinic.  A few months ago, in Chicua II, we made a contact with Manuel.  He then studied the Bible and was baptized.  Now, he has opened his community to us AND a small hospital!

Kemmel, Cesar, Manuel and Ceci getting ready to accept patients.

Lisa selected this room to see her patients..........she was able to scope out all of the medicine that the health department uses here.

I used another room...........many hospitals in Guatemala have picture of a real serious nurse with a nursing cap on and she is motioning for people to be quiet.  This was my lame attempt :)

Sandra and Maria getting ready to see patients.

Martina and Marcos are ready to go to work!!

This is Manuel, who has made today possible.  He really works hard for his community.

This was one of our patients that was happy when she found a pair of glasses that helps her vision.  She sews and has had some trouble getting her work done.

This lady is a happy patient that Lisa has seen before.  It is nice to be able to follow up and know that people feel better.  Way to go, Lisa!

We had a total of 15 medical patients, 1 dental patient and 2 dental cleanings.

We visited two patients in their homes............Maria and I went with the two Manuels.  They were good visits.

On the way back, we stopped and bought 15 instant soup bowls and fixed them for lunch.

We will return to Chicua in two weeks.  It will be good to follow up with the patients again and to see Manuel.
