Clinic in Lemoa and Meet Sebastian

We had a great clinic today in Lemoa.  We had some very interesting patients and I hope that we helped them not only physically, but also spiritually.

The morning was started out with our devotional time together.  Manuel talked about patients who are pleased with their results after they visit us and also about how we enjoy what we do.  It is true!  Yes, there are some days that you have to drag yourself out of bed but once we are together and start working, we really enjoy it. 

I had one young lady come today with an ultrasound that shows she was born with only one kidney.  I was able to do a Pap on a lady that I met Saturday in Chuchipaca, Brenda had s young boy with an descended testicle.  We had several diabetic patients and most of them were under control.

Tuesday in Chutzurob, Sebastian told be that he knew of a young baby that has a cleft-lip and palate.  He said that he would travel to Lemoa today with the family.  This baby's name is also Sebastian and he is four months old.  He is very content and growing well.

Because of his age, Sebastian will need to wait until February 2019 to have his surgery.  Here he is with his parents and also his grandparents.

  
Sebastian, on the left side, brought this family today.  He is such a special person!  He always helps us with clinics, prays with patients and last year brought Victor to us.  Victor is another baby that was born with a cleft-lip and palate and had his lip repaired last year.  He will be going for his palate repair in another week.

Lot of good things are happening. Tomorrow, we will have clinic in Mactuzul I and I hope that we have a busy day.
