Lazy Sunday

Triplets doing well

The good news is that the babies were all still doing well this afternoon. Nurse Peter said he had a busy night. He took to feeding the three stooges every few hours, giving Mom a break. I fixed up a toomey syringe with lactated ringers and dextrose. Nurse Peter has named the three Michael, Ajak  and Khor Peter after the three attending men. Khor means lion and is nurse Peter's Dinka name.  He even put bracelets on to identify them. I don't think the Mom has had much to do with this. No girl, no Catherine.

Sitting in the back at church

Went to church this AM. It was great. This afternoon I went to Peter Kuchcorn's tukel. It was so cool inside. These Sudanese are on to something with their construction design. They are probably the same design since the time Christ walked this earth. We all spread out, put on music from Ajak's computer, read, visited, drank warm pop. Can't think of a better Sunday afternoon.

This next week will be full. I think we will be discharging the burn guy - Malik is his name. I will be teaching his family how to do dressing changes. We will visit the leper colony probably on Wednesday. Dr. Mike has a connection to a Swiss group that takes care of lepers. We will go on a fact finding mission as well as hold a clinic, and then make a report to send to this group. We are also working on a list of medicines and inventory and what is needed immediately. There is also a  need for such basic things as gloves, gauze, 20g IV's. Somehow we will get by. Always seem to.

Happy Sunday to all.
