An Unusual Busy

January 24th, 2010 Posted in INMED

Busy here is a little different than back in the States.  Time has no meaning here and so being busy feels a little different.

 

Lailah is doing well.  We have done some traveling in-country and she has been such a trooper.  She makes friends everywhere she goes.

 

Jen has been busy taking care of very sick patients.  Anyone admitted to the hospital is essentially critical.  In the States they would be in the ICU.  So Jen jokes and says the entire hospital is an ICU.

 

I have been in the OR much of my time, first assisting with procedures.  We have done some major procedures and it is amazing how tough these people are.  They don’t go under general anesthesia like in the States and post-op pain medicine is Tylenol. 

 

We are really enjoying our time here and feel like it has gone by way too fast.

    You both have so many gifts. It is amazing to see how God has blessed you and Jenny. We are very happy that you and Jenny are able to care for the people of Ghana.
    Grace and Maddie say “Hello” to Lailah.
    We are praying for you all!
    Love, Hugs, and Kisses!
