better

so i am doing much better now. after talking it out and researching…there wasn’t much else i can do. i had a good talk with my staff. they were so amazing and tried to find the drugs we needed and give oxygen and meds despite the power outage. i told them how great they did because they were still discouraged. even though they see it all the time, it still is hard and sad. and i have to focus on the positive and the lives I have saved. the baby of the mom with the congestive heart failure is doing well. I was holding him today and feeding him. His dad ran away for a while because people don’t like to face death. i can’t blame him, i did that with my own dad’s death. 2 male family members came to see the baby. they are waiting for a woman relative to come and either take the baby home or go to the nutrition center for feeding.

the woman who gave birth and then had the peritonitis and we did the surgery and found the internal hernia and the necrosed bowel and perf…she died. the family took the baby home.

so i just woke up from a nap and feel a lot better. before i went to sleep i went to the public health center and got a tour from one of the staff, john. it is really pretty nice. so all my women can go there for antenatal care. immunizations, contraceptives,  hiv care.

tonight i am going to go out with some of friends and chill. they are taking me to some place that we can have drinks, so i will write about that soon. i get to be picked up on a moto….(motorcycle) wow i am not a fan of motos, but the walking is too far.

tonight we are having dinner at one of the doctor’s house.

so i still have to write about the weekend…it will be coming soon.
