Yesterday, our first full day of work was a day full of new sensations. Our nurses saw several patients with unusual and sometimes tragic issues. It's a daily occurence for those who are here all the time, but telling people that you can't help them because their problem is beyond the care this facility can provide isn't something that we're used to in the states.
There were prayers and tears and a deeper burden for Jesus to come and wipe away every tear from all of the eyes!
Mark and I are hanging doors, and it's a little bit like Abbot and Costello but we managed to wind up with two working doors. Today? painting and varnishing. Kenny is instructing both Robert and his staff on the proper use of instruments that are 20+ years old. These are obsolete in the states, potentially very useful here, but nobody knew what they were for until Kenny came along!! They were taking copius notes and marking them with a sharpie!
Tracey has a first class dental clinic running, and has marvelously trained Martin, a national worker. Tomorrow we are hanging some x-ray machines for her. She'll be spoiled! Actually having the ability to take x-rays of her patients mouths. What a concept!
We'll check in later....peace to you
