Off to the Pig Islands

Well we are happy to be writing you in the morning after sleeping in the night instead of the day! Baby Miguel continues to be a miracle! He was doing very well in the night. We had a 3 hour shift. Because his care in less intensive, some of the missionarys are "signing up" for shifts. He is LOVED! Rosa, his mother, has been pumping to provide him with breastmilk which is the best medicine ever! He is tolerating feeds and continues to have No blood in his tummy.
This morning we are setting off on an adventure. We are traveling by boat to the Cayos Cachinos, The pig islands. They are 6 miles off shore and we can see them from John and Pennys house. We are traveling there to operate a clinic for women. We will be doing what we consider to be annual care, for them its for the first or second time. Also, we will be conducting prenatal exams for all the islands pregnant women. Richard will be his typical Jack of all trades and probably fix everything on the islands!!!! Well, update and pics when we get back!
The Team
