This week was probably the busiest yet. I worked with Dr. Miller all week in pediatrics. The two of us saw around 750 kids in the outpatient clinic and when you add the inpatients we saw on morning and afternoon rounds, the total is over 100 children! We broke our daily record 3 different times this week – 157 on Monday, 163 on Wednesday and 178 on Friday! The thing is that most of these kids are really sick and really need medicine. There were 21 patients admitted to the pediatric ward yesterday and there were patients on the floor because they didn't have any more empty beds. Every week the number of patients increases and we are exhausted. Thankfully, 4 new volunteers arrived this week – two 4th year medical students and two family practice residents. Please continue to pray for us and for the strength and endurance to keep going day after day.
