last thursday i had pregnant mom clinic in the far west. i also of course end up seeing some kids and other people! it truly is a blessing for me to be able to do this because the people in that area don't have access to medical care. i head back out today and will try to do a prenatal clinic every wednesday.
yesterday we had a 15 year old come into clinic. he was horribly malnourished. had been sick for 1 month. we did blood work on him and he has 1/3 the amount of blood he should. he had a horrible smell and some awful infection in his abdomen. there was some mixture of stool and pus coming out of his belly button. we got a truck and sent him to the hospital with money and hopes that he will be able to get a blood transfusion. his name is nesly. when we loaded him up on the truck he kept saying thank you, thank you. then he said to me - " nurse, if i live i will come back and see you." what a hard reality.

Hello,
Did you treat Nesly at the Bay, Is he from the little village by the school? Anything know about his parents or where he was living?
We will pray for him. Please update his status as it becomes known.
God bless your serving,
David
