Guess we haven't blogged in a few days. Sorry about that, but we've been busy around the house and with clinics. There's nothing too much special to tell.
Monday we were in Nueva Santa Catarina for our last clinic there before the baby comes. We gave all of our chronic patients two months worth of meds to get them through the month we'll take at home with Isaac. They were all very excited for us and can't wait to see the baby in August.
Tuesday was our "day off". We ended up spending some time at the hospital, bringing them some gifts that the teams brought down. It took an entire pickup load (the bed and the back seat) to get all that stuff down there, but they were thrilled!
Wednesday and today, Heidi was at the Hospital Buen Samaritano taking care of some clinic patients there. And Thursday, we had a really nice clinic at ASELSI in Chichicastenango. They had a team of intercessors down and they were nice enough to pray with us for Isaac.
We also saw a couple more kids that we've been following and all of them look better. In addition, we saw a second patient with an imperforate anus (this is when the baby is born and the plumbing inside doesn't reach all the way to the anus - that's bad). We have another patient (really, he's Leslie's patient) in San Andres that Dr. Mercer is going to operate on in August, so this little boy will also go on the list. Dr. Mercer has been kind enough to offer to bring down all his goodies that he needs to fix these two kids. Since their tubing isn't properly connected inside, they both have colostomies. That isn't too fun in the US, but you can imagine what it's like here when the families can't afford the bags...
Anyway, Matt has been really busy recording, Heidi has worked on a paper she's getting ready for possible publication, and we're finishing up some of our "nesting". All basically getting ready for Isaac.
Next week, Russell, Bethany, and Tye Leatherman come down to host a construction and VBS team and we get ready to head to the Hospital in Guatemala City...
