Many do not have

I am still patiently waiting for the CT to get the "go-ahead"from the Government. The new US unit donated by some friends in the USA has not arrived .Yet I was busy in the routine of things. I was called to scan a few times in the medical ward and OR.I was glad to be able to help ,when a little help was needed. The idea of mission is not really doing things spectacular,but the repetition of things common . I was happy doing that-simply serving God's people.


A reisdent's wife went to overnight visit to some rural areas. She picked up an abandoned 2 year old infant . Emaciated , weighing a mere 9 lbs. She took him to xray for a study. She had a very sad look in her eyes .On his xray was the most pronounced bone changes along the femurs (thigh bones). Two separated fractures of femurs had caused this .There was a third older fracture of the right shoulder . There is an example of gross neglect of a two year baby . My heart felt heavy . Now this child will go under someone's care in the hospital , later a loving adopted family. Pray that he recovers well.

Talking toccolleauges ,who have been here much longer, I am learned that some patients may choose to let their disease take its course , if the cost of the treatment is too much ; that they may choose to die and leave the money for their families. We were talking about less than a thousand US dollars.!!

PRAY for the people of this land.
