Busy, Busy, Busy Day

Whew! Day one is over and my goodness it was a busy one! Amber and Lori hit the ground running this morning and spent the day at the hospital doing a number of things. We helped care for a 10 day old baby with GBS pneumonia. The family walked 6 hours carrying a sick baby in order to get medical attention. This kiddo is SICK! He has had a couple of episodes of very low sats and requiring some manuel ventilation (bagging) to bring his sats up. Nurses....you would be freaking out. I want to transport him to our NICU. I would if I could. He is getting all that we can provide. IV antibiotics, IV fluid and now has a makeshift "rebreather" in order to maintain sats. Pray for him. He has all that is available so its gonna have to work. We also helped with suturing for a machete wound to the shin and a laceration from a motorcycle accident. We also did some wound care today! something Lori hasnt done since nursing school, and Amber hasnt done for years. Lots of learning. Its been great. Our "jack of all trades" Richard was busy preparing for his big steel project. Church tomorrow and prep for the week. The plan is for some Ob/Gyn clinics in the mountains and out on the islands. More updates to come and hopefully we can figure out how to add pictures!!!! Keep watching. God bless you all. We ask for continued prayer for our safety and that He will use us in a glorious way.
