Started with a bang. Lots of patients waiting by the time we arrived between 8 and 8:30. Many sick kids. So the day was spent starting IV's, rehydrating little ones and cleaning up poop and diarrhea. I love my job! They are all so darn cute I could just squeeze them to death. We also have one adult, a woman, who is pretty depleted of all fluids. So we are pretty full up.

The three stooges are doing great. They have even been a little bit boisterous when they don't get their food right away. Mom seems to be doing ok, moving around fairly well. Did I mention that these three are number 6,7 and 8 in her household. She only has one girl. I think Dad is shell shocked.

It is late, have just come back from the hospital. Just a short note for tonight. We will have to go to Bor to see the Minister of Health to get some formula for this family. There is no way they can afford formula for three kids .I found out they had to take out a loan to buy a chicken so Mom could have some protein. We insisted on this. I hope we are able to convince the Minister of the need for this family. Ahhh, the needs of everyone here are so great.
