July 2, Saturday

Some of the type of patients that we have seen this week: a 4 year old girl with ricketts of both upper and lower extremities; an 8 year old girl with polyarthritis - once we got the swelling down in her joints and limbs, many pus-filled lumps were visible on her anterior left lower leg, she went for incision and drainage and is healing in the surgical ward; a 2 week old baby that weighs 2kg, finally taking the breast; a gentleman in his 30s with cold and allergy symptoms, wheezing, with a family history of asthma. (I felt like I was seeing you Mom!) 

the "veterans"

In the evening, Father Dominic had invited Milan to play soccer, but it poured rain. While he didn’t get to play, later we did get to watch a championship game played by 2 teams. In fact, Milan got to do the kick off!!  It was Athletico (teens and 20s) vs. Veterans (older, some gray). Wet and muddy! Great, long kicks across ½ - ¾ of the field. Lots of heading! And a few times they did great getting the ball across the field with kicks or heads the whole way. The ball never touched the floor.  We couldn’t stay for the whole game, but I must tell you that the Veterans scored the first goal. Did I expect anything different? For us ol’ foggies!
