1/2 Way Thru

Hello Everyone. Everything is going really well. We have just left from the church in Mathare Valley where we were having the free medical clinic. We had from 3 to 7 doctor's volunteering their time to help us. We saw around 1200 people. The missionaries wife said that she had never seen this many sick, 85% of the people seen were sick. A mother brought her 2 year old daughter in yesterday, they fastracked her thru the line to see the docs ASAP. The doctor diagnosed her as anemic, having malaria, de-hydrated, and pnuemonia. They started her on an IV, distributed anti-biotics, and gave her a mission note to allow her to go the hospital. We were told that if we had not been having the free medical clinic that mother would not have been able to have a doctor see her baby. The doctor said that the child would have died that night without help. T
If this was the only reason for this trip then that was worth it all to save a child's life.
We are on the way to Nakuru now.
The reason for no pics, slow internet, and not much time. Will post when able.
Keep the prayers coming.
Steph and Gabbi, I'll be home soon.
Thanks to all.
Daryl
