Hospital Buen Samaritano

Today is normally a day off, but Heidi had scheduled a surgery at the Hospital Buen Samaritano, so that's where we went this afternoon. Many of our friends in Chichicastenango had not met Isaac yet, so Matt and Isaac tagged along.

The remnants of Hurricane Felix were scheduled to come through the area today. No one expected very much and all we got was a pretty normal afternoon/evening rain.

We met two new friends in Chichi today. Danny and Janeane are a young married couple (been married a month) who have come down to help out for a few months. Janeane is a nurse and Danny is a nursing student. Heidi invited them to join in on the surgery, so they did. The surgery was a vaginal hysterectomy on a 38 year old woman.

Tomorrow Heidi will go back to Chichi to check on her patient and Matt and Isaac will get some work done around the house. Friday, Heidi is back at the hospital and Matt and Isaac will get some more work done around the house. Saturday and Sunday are with the Fickers.
