Last week was super busy! Lots of special cases came up requiring extra attention and constantly changing Dr.Karla and I’s schedule. Heysi is at her happy home recovering for her next chemotherapy; Isamuel was diagnosed with leukemia; Rodolfo has muscular dystrophy that is progressing rapidly; Edwin is finally out of the hospital! In a ddition to keeping up with those cases, we had several specialist appointments scheduled for last week and our normal work of seeing the sick kids and teaching about health at the schools.
Busy weeks are good. I get to practice my prioritizing skills, organization skills, and communication a lot more and Dr. Karla and I’s teamwork becomes very evident. Oh and I forgot, there were a few accidental wounds to attend to…a gash on a knee down to the bone from falling on a volcano, a broken arm that turned out just to be dislocated, and a choking incident.
This weekend I spent time with my host family. We went to visit my host mom’s aunt and cousins Saturday morning anf then my little cousin had her 12 year old birthday party at our house that night. Music, piñata, 12 year old awkwardness/self-consciousness, cake, family, friends, pizza and the cousin’s slept over! The party started at 4pm and guests didn’t leave until after 10pm. I met a lot of sweet people and a little 8 yr old girl got attached to me and followed me around and asked question after question giggling in between each one. I gave her lots of hugs and danced with her and let her come into my room and play with my stephoscope.
It was a good week and now here comes another one….
Love,

“ After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus." Mark 9:2-4
