This past week has been very busy again, but thankfully as of today we only have 4 patients admitted and a few in observation. Last Sunday is when things picked up again, and we had 13 admitted and 50 in observation throughout the week. Wilmon came up from T-Goave, and has been an amazing help, as always.
There are just a couple of us left here for CTC work, so we had to put in some long hours, but it wasn’t too bad. As much as I want cholera to be over, I am privileged to be able to be here and help those who are sick.
Monday was another very busy day, with over 20 people coming through the CTC. Jared left for home, Thea had to be in the clinic all morning, and Michael had to go to T-Goave, so I had to be in the CTC pretty much alone. If Wilmon wasn’t around I wouldn’t have been able to keep up.
Why so many people came was because they were scared. There was a Pastor who died of cholera in a certain area, and he didn’t get buried properly. So everyone there is scared. About a dozen people came from there, and I had to listen to their symptoms and decided who to treat and who to send back home with ORS. Half of them obviously did not have cholera, and the other half I treated and sent home.
Please pray that cholera would stop! It doesn’t seem to be ending, just dragging on and on. It is hard to keep going sometimes when there is no end in sight. But God gives strength! We need your prayers and support, and we are thankful for them!

God Bless Your work! Keep it up and we are praying for you all.
