Last Day with Students

This morning, sadly, we had to say good-bye to our students. They are, at the moment, probably enjoying themselves in Antigua. As you would expect in a third-world country, one person's bag didn't make it. They called and called and called and it finally showed up this afternoon - about 8 hours after they left. Go figure.

The impressive part - no complaining - really. We're pretty sure we wouldn't have made a full week without our luggage and no whining.

We dropped everybody off in Chichicastenango this morning and Oscar picked them up there (actually, he pulled up the same minute we did). Then Heidi saw 12 patients in her clinic there (two more surgeries) and this afternoon, we collapsed.

We did get a new episode of "Grey's Anatomy" and right now it's halftime in the North Carolina - USC game. Go Heels!

Jim and Carolyn are here until Thursday and have continued to be great guests. Jacob came over tonight to bring them some info and to let us know what we have to do to get the trucks' registration renewed. You know, normal stuff.

Tomorrow, we leave for a weekend with the Fickers again. It seems like forever since we've seen them. This past week was fantastic (long, but fantastic) and we really hope that we can work with this school a little more in the future - maybe host some of these kids as 3rd or 4th year students.

Then Monday, we're back in Chicabracan. Tuesday is our "day off" but we'll probably take a young girl into the cardiac hospital in Guatemala City for evaluation and we have another prenatal appointment with our doctor there.

In any case, here are a few more pics of the students. We burned two CDs worth of pictures for them to take home, so hopefully they'll have some great memories of this trip!!!
