Update
February 9th, 2008 Posted in CameroonDr. Thompson is coming back tomorrow, and I will be happy to return the maternity ward to her care. Things have been fairly quiet, with about 1-2 babies born each day, and only 2 c-sections. There have been a few complications - a c-section wound that was poorly approximated and seeping - but nothing too serious. There is certainly a strain of knowing that you can be called at any moment for a potentially very serious concern, and though most of these nights I’ve gotten good sleep, I can see how this lifestyle would be very draining. I am also trying to finalize my decisions for rank list this weekend. I’ve been praying that God would speak to me and I would have assurance of where God wants me to be. I’ve only got a few days more before my rank list is due!
In other news, my roommate has arrived. She’s been here before, and I’m hoping that she will be able to show me some great hiking trails. She’s already got me invited to dinner tonight at one of the chaplain’s homes! Which is where I am to be heading very soon!
