Happenings

Some tidbits from the last few days:

  • I had a couple American women over for coffee on Saturday. In an effort to be more Haitian in my approach to hospitality, I baked. (Note: I hate baking.) This happened:  
        Martha Stewart, I am not.
  • It was annual conference time for our sister church in the mountains, so I got to experience church in St. Etienne for the first time in a year. I do like it up there.
  • Today was the first day back to school for our students. In a remarkable event for Haiti, and a testament to the hard work of our school staff, we actually started the school year on time. 
  • Thanks to the above mentioned note, there was a troop of sweet and smiling faces greeting me this morning when I arrived to start clinic. I missed those babies over the summer.
  • Our patient with the chronic leg ulcers was two weeks healed and counting. I was all set to add that to the list of rejoicings in this post when he walked in the clinic with one of his leg wounds reopening. Although this is the expected course of the disease, it's still a disappointment. Feel free to keep us in your prayers.
  • We had a 13 pound three month old in clinic today. He had a double chin and rolls on his thighs. That was a good way to make Monday morning a little more welcome.
