Honduras-Tuesday Clinic at Emanuel Children's Day Home Part 7


Tuesday morning, we did a clinic at the Children's Day home that is run by Emanuel Baptist Church in Siguatepeque, which is the Patterson's church. We saw the 22 children that attend there, their families and many others from the neighborhood. Practically every child has lice. They have been treated many times before, but they just come right back because their homes are not cleaned from lice so they get re-infested. They also all have parasites. The children were all so sweet.
Here is Chris examining a boy that had a bad skin problem

Here is a lady that is 100 years old. She was remarkably healthy. Her main complaint was wax in her ears!!
I took blood pressures for all the patients as Chris was talking to them about their health in Spanish. Gilead "hung around" too for 4 hrs and never got fussy. He even took a nap for about an hour on my back. There were just under 100 people seen this day too.
The 3 boys stayed behind at MEDA to do some manual labor, so we brought the 3 girls with us. Don't they look so elegant with all their hair pinned up. = )
