"Did she see your feet?"

We have several elderly patients that have Diabetes, and we seem to not be able to get control of it. I spend alot of time educating and talking with them. Just this past week we decided to give them all the same date to come, to make education easier.
 We have been giving nutritional advise, medication etc.. They are the sweetest and cutest people! Always joking and  always happy. I had been fussing at them all about there feet, protecting there feet and the reasons why. Thursday, we were  having "school," and the one was late coming in, I heard the other say, " Did she see your feet yet."? " Your in big trouble!"  :)
   I think we have resolved the "shoe" issue, now if we can just get the diet and meds down!! Please keep them in your prayers!!

1. Install sinks, toilets, shower
2. Install windows
3. Install counter tops, desk and chairs
4. Flooring
5. Painting
6. Laboratory Equipment
We would like to get into the new laboratory by the fall! Please help us pray that God will bless our efforts in this project. If you would like to donate towards the laboratory project. Please contact Sandra at sandrasc45@yahoo.com or April at hessapril73@yahoo.com .

Ti Madame

The patient that I wrote about last week that was going into surgery, was not able to operate. The surgeons said it was too advanced. They gave her 6months to a year to live.
 She is in alot of pain, and is obviously sad about the news. Please keep her in your prayers. She has such a good attitude and spirit about her.

Prayer

Please pray for a patient of ours that has Breast cancer, and will have surgery on thursday. She is very nervous about the surgery.

Busy Week!!

It has been a very busy few weeks! We have done some projects in the clinic, we finally have all the windows secured! Just need to put the windows in!
 We has a team of 16 here last week. We spent a day out in the mountains doing a mobile clinic and building benches for the church. We were able to see over 175 patients! That evening we were able to show the Jesus film to the community.
 The team worked a few days in the clinic, seeing patients and organizing in our pharmacy. It was a huge success and we thank them for all the hard work! They brought us a doppler, and some other much needed supplies! Thank you Flint Groves Baptist Church!

We are still doing our best to try to get control of the typhoid, thankfully this week we had fewer cases. We do have a major problem with water in our community. Ever since the 2010 earthqauke, there is alot of standing water.
 For those of you who prayed for Emit, thanks so much! God has heard your prayers! I went to the mountains this week, and she is doing much better. She is walking, and starting to talk really well. She has lost function of her right arm, but has very high spirits, and was testifying to God's mercies.

 She is going thru alot of persecution from her family, but is determined that she has left the life of voodoo behind. Please continue to pray for her recovery and for her spiritual strength.

Typhoid

We have been having a outbreak of typhoid cases in the last 2 months. We have been working hard to get the patients to understand the importance of completing the treatment and prevention. Just this past week we had 35 cases.
 Here are two small children who have typhoid, but in spite of being sick, they were playful and adorable!

Please keep us in your prayers as we try to get control of this epidemic. The little boy is Jackconer and his sister, Dialine.
