Being ministered to....

Today's clinic ran smoother than ever. We have learned over the past few days how to work well together as a team. One patient that stood out for me today was a lady that has had chronic osteomyelitis for approx 25 years. When she was 20 years old the doctors said that she would die from this bone infection. She said that she has had multiple surgeries and has been on antibiotics for many years. She said that she gives all the credit to God because according to her doctors she should be dead. This same lady had a daughter that was deaf. She had never had the opportunity to go to school because she had this special need. There are no resources for a child like this. So, she and her mom communicate via a sign language that they have created as she has grown up. She was so grateful and did not complain about her life situation. I had come to minister to her but instead she ministered to my heart. What a good example she is for me.

Above are pictures from clinic today. One thing I learned today...It is very hard to teach a kid how to use a albuterol inhaler IN SPANISH!!!!! Oh well we got the job done. See the picture above.
