Today Heidi was at the Hospital Buen Samaritano in Chichicastenango and Matt and Isaac were at home.
Five and possibly six of Heidi's thirteen patients today are surgical cases which will get done in the next few weeks. This coming week brings in a surgical team to Buen Samaritano which will do some general surgeries and some facial surgeries, so the gynecologic cases will wait a week.
Matt and Isaac stayed at home and did some painting in the east courtyard. Matt noticed that it was a little...well...less than pristine this week while walking Isaac around to calm him, so two gallons of paint and two days later, it's about 90% done. Next will be the front of the house, then the west courtyard. Then the doors, then the grates... Never ends, does it?
Anyway, we are very much looking forward to Tuesday when Heidi's dad comes to visit and meet his grandson. We have clinic in Nueva Santa Catarina on Monday, then we'll drive down to Guatemala City, spend the night in a hotel there, run some errands on Tuesday morning, then pick him up at the airport and head back up the mountain.
Tomorrow morning, of course, we head out to Canilla. Last week the roads were horrendous. Luckily, it hasn't rained too much here this week - we'll see how the roads fared. It could be a long morning!
Sorry, no pics today, but Isaac weighed in at almost exactly 9 lbs this morning. He's gained over three pounds in the last five weeks. Go Isaac and Go Mommy!!! (Daddy's basically just a cheerleader in this department!)

Life sounds like it's going well. I know that there is no end to all that needs to be done. Keep marching on. He sure is growing up to be quite the cute kid! Keep at it.
