It´s another Monday here in Honduras (which means another chloroquine pill, ie malaria prophylaxis). Carrie changed modes from administrator assistant to schoolmistress today, giving lessons in la historia, matematicas, y literatura to 2 fifth graders (Dr. Rudy´s son and niece). Andrew had his busiest day of patients yet and is on call tonight. There are deliveries on average every other night, so there´s a 50-50 chance of a woman coming in tonight and other emergencies are always a possibility. It was a tough day today – we´ve been taking care of a malnourished 1 month old with sepsis who died today. Families are very supportive here and all usually live nearby so it was good to see so many caring members to support her mother. Please keep their family in your prayers. On the other end of the spectrum, a 101 year old woman also passed away yesterday.
We enjoyed singing songs in church yesterday as well as with Greta, the youngest daughter of the family who hosts us for dinner each night. ¨Eres Todo Poderoso¨ (You are All Powerful) y ¨Te alabare¨(I Will Praise You) are her favorites. Hope all is well with all of you at home! Andrew & Carrie
