friday

I have a few minutes before we catch the bus to Quito. We had a busy day today. We saw 60 patients - all between the hours of 9:30 and 2:00. Mostly children, but about 10 pap smears too. The children in this village seemed more ill, with underweight, respiratory disease and diarhea. I think we treated more people today than all week!
We are bringing Sangudo, Tupac and Maria to Quito with us - to get specialty care. There are so many others that will need follow up -especially once the pap results come in.

Adios for now

Terry and all,

You have all done an incredible job. The number of people you are seeing is amazing. Being able to see patients form last year and helping them to continue their journey to better health has to be the greatest!

My prayers continue for your mission and safe travel home.

Love
Chris
