The week in review highlights:  

Hospital follow ups. Man with the infected hand is slowing doing better. Still a long way to go. Two little girls with dehydration did beautifully and went home in a couple days. PTL! Got to suture and cast Friday at Liteta Hospital. Now know how pale an adult looks with a Hgb of 3.5 looks. These people are amazing.  The gentleman came in complaining he has some intermittent swelling of his hand/legs and some difficulty breathing when laying down and was a little tired.  With a Hgb of 3.5!  I didn't know you could still walk around (normal is 12).  In the U.S. people will say they are tired and come for a lab test and the hgb will be 9.  He should do fine after a pint of blood and some iron for home.  Was a little frustrated today. Outpatient clinic was so busy, and I wanted to help but can't speak the local languages. It was going to take the clinical officer more time to find a translator that stayed with me (one kept leaving to do other things) then to see patients himself. Wish I could suddenly speak Bemba or Nyanja.

Saturday/Sunday I joined Nancy and Archie and Christine for a Holy Spirit conference at a local church.  It went wonderfully. So enjoyed the fellowship with the Chainda Upper Room Grace Ministries church. What warm fellowship and believing for great things as they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to reach out to their community, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa and the world. Four young men newly baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Then my fun of the week on Thursday afternoon at Fringilla. 
What does a doctor in Africa do when clinic gets slow? Milk a cow of course!
