More Hospital Runs

Today we spent most of the day going to hospitals once again. This morning we took two people to the hospital in St. Marc. We took a four year old little girl who was supposed to have surgery on her rectum. They told us the surgeon wasn't there and to come back next week. This has happened time and time again with her. Please pray for the little girl as she desperately needs this surgery. We also took a woman who had been very sick. After they ran some tests they discovered she had typhoid fever. The bacteria that causes typhoid can come from contaminated water. Here in the village many people drink water straight out of the canal because they don't have money to purchase filtered water. It's a big problem and many are getting sick. Tonight we took a woman to Port to go to the hospital because she had been having severe abdominal pain and bleeding. The hospital we took her to was a new one to us. They had a bunch of different large canvas safari tents sent up all over their compound.
It was very organized and ran well. We will find out soon what was causing her illness. Please pray for our village as we've been having much sickness and we want to see the people well again!
