Today was a clinic day and I saw 25-30 pt on my own!  Of course I had Dr. Faile nearby to ask several questions along the way.  Several of my patients had Malaria, PUD (peptic ulcer disease/heartburn), Anemia, Pneumonia, and a couple dx with Typhoid fever.  Not your usual diagnosis seen in the States!

After clinic, about 5pm or so we had several minor procedures to do, most of which were ultrasounds and didn’t leave until 7pm for supper.  Tomorrow morning Paul and Cindy Shumpert (Family practice docs) will be heading back home to Georgia after being here several weeks, please pray for their safe travels.

Sarah and I will take our first call together on Thursday night, please pray for wisdom and guidance as we care for patients through the night.  Of course we will be able to talk with the docs if needed.

I’m working on getting some more pics up for you all to see and I think Sarah got several loaded so I’ll post that link below as well!

    It was so good to be able to talk Saturday and so you could talk to uncle Mike, Ryan, Ryley, your dad and I. Had a really good signal, huh!
    Wow, the “hands on” opportunities you are able to have so far, so amazing. We continue to pray as you learn and apply the knowledge to help these people so much. As well as your good health and safety.
    In God’s Hands,
    Love ya, mom
