Changes

Well, since I've been working full time at the clinic I haven't been spending as much time at la Casa Josefina. A lot of the kids have been coming to the clinic sick as cold and flu season has started here. Pretty much when one kid gets sick, it's only a matter of time until lots of the other kiddos gets sick. So, earlier this week, one of the other nurses from the clinic and I went to do some teaching on flu, colds, deciding when the kids should come to the clinic for that sort of stuff, hand washing, etc.... It was a good time to teach the women who work in the home and to check up on the kids as well.

After seeing Zoe, I discovered that it really had been a long since I'd been there. About a month or two ago now, she had her first of three surgeries to repair her double cleft pallet. Here's the before and after, she looks like a different baby. It's just amazing what they can do with this surgery!!
























Oh yeah, and here are some pictures of some of the sweet kids of La Casa Josefina....
