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....
Wow Abby, what a different! She is a very cute baby! And her life will be so much easier now. Claudia
