The team left on Thursday morning. We really enjoyed having all of them here - they are fabulously organized and unbelievably generous. Matt took Dr. Horth, Dr. Gonzalez, and Nurse Wendy down to ASELSI for clinic there. It was a great experience for everyone - including the patients - who got some top-notch medical care. After clinic, Matt took the crew down to Panajachel to meet up with the rest of their group.
After getting back from Panajachel, Matt loaded all of the drugs the team left us in the pickup truck (the entire bed was full, as well as the entire inside of the truck - even with the front passenger seat taken out - this is a whole lot of drugs!)and brought them to the house. Heidi has some work to do to get all of these put away in our pharmacy.
We mentioned that the front passenger seat has been taken out of the truck - this is because Heidi now sits in the back with Isaac. Removing the seat makes she and Matt feel a little closer, she can now see out the windshield, and has ALL KINDS of leg room (or space for diaper bags, etc.)
Friday morning, we went down to the hospital, turned in the key to the multi-purpose room the team was using to stage drugs and equipment, and let the hospital know how many gifts had been left for them. Tens of thousands of dollars doesn't even begin to describe it. We'll just use the word "lots".
The rest of the day Friday was devoted to laundry and rest.
Saturday we got up early and went to clinic at the Fickers' in Canilla. We even had an evening game of baseball on the runway. (Oh yeah, the new plane is here, so we're offically back in the air. There's still a lot of work to do on the big plane, but at least we have "four seater" capability. Thank you God!!!)
Today was clinic in San Andres. Now that Isaac is here, we have to split up for this one. There are way too many sick kids in San Andres to bring Isaac. So Heidi goes to clinic and Matt takes care of Isaac at the Fickers' house in Canilla.
Tomorrow is our first 'solo' clinc back after the baby. It's likely to be a long day. We'll be in Chinique with Roy Espinosa.
Oh, and the yearly Feria (fair) is going on in Quiche, which means non-stop horrible marching bands, bombs, loud crowds, obnoxious PA systems at all hours of the night, etc. A real treat. At least it's only one week a year.
Here's the only real picture we took this weekend (we were a little busy) - it's Isaac being a fussy-pants in the bed the Fickers put in "our" room at their house.

So nice that Isaac has his own bed at Fickers. He is a lucky little boy.
We know that Heidi misses Matt at her side during clinics, but understand that Isaac's health and well being is a priority. Thank you for taking precautions for everyone's sake.
Love and prayers, Mom
