Today we (the medical people, plus Skyler) went to the maternity hospital for the second time but found ourselves in the urgent care (stat care type setting) for the majority of the morning. We saw many dressing changes and had to hold ourselves back from trying to tell the nurses how "we americans" would perform the tasks. We saw someone who had been in a motorcycle accident, a few recent mom's with cesarean dressings to be changed, a few children with days old injuries, and a boy who did not get his dressing changed when needed which lead to a worse injury/infection. We were able to provide medication for the boy as well as financial aid for him to get the proper medication needed. Gwen got to do a dressing change on one of the patients as well. It was an interesting and more hands on day then we have had so far in the trip. PLUS a surprise visit by one of our own, Lane, who had a small foot injury today playing soccer which was examined by Marla (the administrator of the hospital) by an x-ray... Don't worry they say all is well, no fracture or broken!! THANK THE LORD
God is working in wonderful ways to allow us to practice our skills and show his love to the people we have had the opportunity to work on and with.
Love Jaclyn, Gwen, and Brittany
Hi, seems like the medical team had a grand day...and yes, it's very hard sometimes to bite your tongue in telling someone how to do a task (if you think it should be done differently). I'm sure the memories of the people you come in contact with will forever hold a place in your hearts. Glad to hear no broken bones for Lane. Rest and relax, all is good here @ home...went to Ihop today, Brittany! Sorry, honey...had to throw that out there, knowing it's one of your favorite places to eat. Stay strong, love you to pieces. Praying for water and electricity for you, rest and relaxation and fun filled memories. Still cold here but snow has stopped. Until next time, xoxoxo Love, Kim, Gary and Brandon Phelps
ReplyDeleteIt is so exciting to see how God is using each one of you to bless others. How neat to be able to use the skills that you've put so much time into learning at Malone on a trip like this. We continue to pray for safety, good health, team unity and that you will be able to brighten many peoples days through an encouraging word or deed.
