Sunday, we had clinic in San Andres. With all of the rain, the roads are in poor condition and we had a few less patients. In addition to the normal ear infections and prenatal checks, we had a couple of interesting visitors. First was another young man named Andres. Andres had a significant heart defect as an infant. It was not found until he was older and doctors in Guatemala now say it is not operable. He is a sweet 11 year old boy who is about half of the size you would think he should be with a large smile and a loud heart murmur. I enjoyed talking with him and after years of all sorts of people listening to his chest, I enjoyed letting him use my stethescope to listen to my heart. With the continued rains, we gave him and his mom a ride home after clinic.
Our other interesting visitor was Pastor Rodimiro. Pastor 'Rodi' is the pastor of Torre Fuerte, the church that the workers from the home attend in San Andres. He stopped by to talk with us and offer words of encouragement. After this, he prayed for us.
A quick update on little Enrique. He is back at the home, having spent a week at the hospital. He is doing well. He did not have to have surgery but was treated for pneumonia and anemia.
This last weekend, there was a chicken that had baby chicks. Here are a few pictures.
