Healthy but a Little Dirty

Just an update, all the Flint’s have been free of any illness now for 3 days!!!  No, really we are doing good, Lailah is having a blast with a new Ghanaian friend named Abana who watches her for us.   This is the dry season in Nalerigu and there is tons of dust.  The dirt essential turns into a sand consistency so you track it everywhere.  Lailah loves playing in it, so mom is giving her several baths a day….no comment!

Yesterday, I bought a soccer ball to play soccer with some of my new Ghanaian friends.  My friends had escorted me to market to make sure I got the right ball.  The ball they picked out is the colors of Ghana and in big print says LOVE JESUS.  Here talking about Jesus is not taboo, in fact you would be considered intolerant if you did not allow Jesus to be spoken of.  Anyway, I looked at the back of the ball to see where it was made and to my amazement it was made in CHINA….go figure!!!

The Higgin’s, the surgeon from INMED, is arrived today.  They have so many cases for him.  The need for surgical care is so great here that words are not enough.  So the hospital staff, patients, and community are excited to have him here for two weeks.  In fact, Dr. Higgins was in the OR doing surgeries 20 minutes after arriving at the hospital

Lailah is doing so good.  She still mentions Poco occasionally and when we were looking at pics on the computer of her she saw one of Poco and got really excited. 

I am trying to post more pics of the hospital, where we stay…but loading them takes so long.  So bare with me and hopefully I can have some up in a few days.
