Maine Eye Team - Last Day (Post 1 of 2)

The Maine Eye Team leaves today. Over the course of their visit, they saw nearly 1,000 patients in clinic and performed almost 100 surgeries. Yesterday, they had a day of R&R in Chichicastenango and Atitlan. Those of you who know them will get all of the adventure stories when they get home so we won't ruin the surprise!

With every surgery, there is the risk of complication. We did have a few of those this week and there will be some follow-up and some more things going on there. Please pray for all of the folks that the team saw - that the vast majority of them will continue to have uneventful recoveries and that the few special cases will feel the comforting hand of God on their shoulders.

Heidi and I have this afternoon to clean up, do about 15 loads of laundry, and get ready for four clinics in four cities in the next five days. Then Matt's parents come into town for about two weeks.
