Well, almost. Clinic # 2 was a lot better organized. We had 2 doctors (thanks to Dr. Steve Lohr) and we saw about 70 people today. We had 2 triage stations with a doctor and nurses. Another station was la botica ( a pharmacy ) where more nurses were stationed to dispense the vitamins and medicine. After the the doctor was done our patients then went to the final station to get some free clothing. The kids smiled, the moms were thankful, one woman cried.



Our little friend Luis came to see us again today. He is the little guy with the colon on the outside of his body. His mom had a diaper wrapped around it today. There was excrememt all over his belly. It was amazing to watch Brannyn and Ashley clean him with kid gloves, like he was there own son. We bought colostomy bags and showed his mom how to apply them and clean the area. And then we had the honor of telling her that the surgery he needs to fix all this will be paid for.

I'm pretty sure Luis is at least one of the reasons this group is in Peru. If we had gone to Ecuador we would never have met Luis. But God has plans for this little life. Wouldn't it be cool if he grew up and worked in healthcare?

God is good. All the time.
