Clinic Notes and a Vist to the Home

As always, I have enjoyed my time seeing patients in the clinics. Along with the routine ear infections, rashes, and heartburn; there have been some really interesting and unusual cases. Last week I aspirated the largest ganglion cyst that I have ever seen (it's really hard to make tortillas when you can't bend your wrist all the way back - a big deal if that is essentially all you and your family eats). Another patient that stood out to me was a young man who had an infection of his right foot. Along with antibiotics and a cream, we gave him two pairs of socks (he only had one pair and they didn't look too good). What a blessing it was to be able to give something as simple as socks and know that it would help his foot to heal (thank you Donette).

Yesterday, we spent the morning at the Home. Our friend Erna (visiting from Houston for six months) cooked lunch for the kids. Our girls helped make bracelets for the girls while Caleb helped the boys with wood models. Caleb really tried hard and did a great job explaining and helping the boys in Spanish! Here are a few pictures from the day.
