Last day in clinics!


We are about to go out to eat at a place called E ski mo... I don’t know how to spell it in Spanish. However, we had a humbling last day of clinics.  When got to the clinic this morning there was already around 50 people waiting for us and we had to turn away people because they were all waiting for the dentist. A little baby who was only 2 months old came to the clinic and had a trachea tube in its throat but the baby was really sick so Dr. Diana sent it straight to the hospital. Also, yesterday an older woman came in and Dr. Diana thought she had bone cancer because there was some type of lump on the top of her mouth. We stopped taking medical patients around 10:30 yet we did not finish until 12.  One of our translator's fathers who is a doctor graciously offered his day off to come help with the clinic.  I thought that was really amazing.  Once we ate lunch, we had to do inventory which was extremely frustrating.  We had to go through all the medicine and count how many of ech type of pill was left.  Once we were done with that, we moved everything out of the clinic and onto the bus to then be unloaded at Jo Ann's house.  After that we went home and got ready for our dinner.  The place we went to was extremely nice.  I got a cheeseburger, fries, and a banana smoothie...suprisingly it was only 8 dollars total.  When we got back from dinner, there were honestly hundreds of flying ants all over Quinta Shalom and in our bedroom. It was really gross.  That was all the adventures of today!
