Little faces, innocent eyes, each one
grasps your heart. The cry of a newborn…. the heartbreak of a mother as she
releases her little one to the arms of Jesus…the distressed cry of a child
unable to breath…. the fear in a mother’s eyes as she tries to wake her
lethargic child burning up with fever…. the love in a mother’s eyes as she holds
her young child, who will never be able to live a normal life. All these experiences fill the heart. We know it is only because of God we can do what we do.
Then we see a
father who loves and cares for his 13 month old who got severly burned. His
love for his child goes beyond what I see in many fathers. We watched a mother
as she patiently talked to her son. She desperately wanted him to know who she
was. He had been beaten with a rock. After suffering a major concussion, he
walked away with few injuries. PTL!
This past week has been a record breaker with
doing almost 500 consultations that doesn’t include the regular people that
come on the blood pressure program. The unusual thing was almost 50% of those
consultations were children. Our pharmacy is not stocked to support this amount
of children. We are scratching to keep the amount of medications
suspensions/syrups we need to support this population. We pray God will provide.
Due to a lack of words as to how to describe the past week. Here are some pics to give you a glimpse into our lives.
The little burn boy I have been bandaging. Kayla with her little boy who had a concussion, and Rachel, Katie, and I with a new baby.
James with one of the children and a few of the other many faces we saw this week.
Thanks for your prayers we feel them.
