The sunrise was beautiful today! We had the advantage of seeing both the sunrise and also the sunset.......double beauty. Sally mentioned a few times, how much sky we are able to enjoy. At night, since there are no lights, the stars are brilliant!
Up at it early again. The patients will be arriving before we know it!
We enjoyed a breakfast of mosh and bread. There was some chocolate frosted flakes that people were putting that in their cereal. I had never tried it before but it was pretty good. I ended up with chocolate oatmeal. The coffee is also very good on these cool mornings.
These little chicks had to have their breakfast too. The mother is coming in on the right side of the photo. When people got too chose to her babies or tried to pick them up, she would nip and nip at their legs.
The house has a lot of pretty flowers.
One of the boys was riding his donkey in front of the house.
The colors are just gorgeous here!
Patients gathering below getting ready for their consults.
When it was lunch time, we walked up to the house and enjoyed a chicken soup with tortillas.
In the afternoon, the guys got in a volleyball game. Our medical clinic continued until we had seen all of the patients.
We saw a wide range of patients today. I saw three families with scabies. I had two patients with severe kidney infections. We also had a few very sick babies.
We gave out 70 numbers for patients. We conservatively estimated, 250 patients for the day.
Again, Sally saw all of the pregnant ladies and did ultra sounds on them to make sure everything was good.
In the evening, we raided the water reservoir so we could bath. The water had been collected from the roof, so basically, it was clean.......or we like to think so, anyways. It is not one of those times that you are real picky with the water.
Erv had put some water in a solar bag and it heated during the day. Sally was kind and shared some of her warm water with me. Even though the mornings and nights are cool, the afternoons were pretty warm where we did consults.
Before dinner, we watched the sunset.............another beautiful day...........
The group that we came with, brought a bicycle for this young girl. Here she is sitting on her new bike, with her mom, grandpa and grandma. Her mom is Leda and she has been an awesome translator for me yesterday and today.
The time is passing quickly! The team will do just a half day tomorrow and will return on Wednesday night. Our group: Erv, Sally, Sarah, Deysi and I have opted to drive back on Thursday. The idea of being on the road at night and not arriving in Quiche until midnight or 2am does not appeal to us. We will get another good night of rest and leave on Thursday morning.
Another great day..........and we are so thankful for it!! Gracias a Dios!
