Friday we had a volvulus or torsion of the sigmoid colon that was very distended and almost dead but did pink up after we untwisted its pedicle and I think he is going to be all right. Also had a c-section for too large baby for pelvis. We have had lots of hernias and hydroceles and prostatectomies. We had another boy with infected clavicle fracture so we took out part of the clavicle as one does not have to have a clavicle and so far he is doing well.
Sabbath we went to the Bendele church instead of Bere and had the lesson while Dirk had the sermon. It is a little challenging to adapt concepts to their level of understanding even about the plan of salvation and the origin of sin and the great controversy between God and Satan and especially emphasize the love of God that He is not some vengeful tyrant that has to be appeased. In the afternoon we went out in the bush to see a lady with some neurological problem and movement disorder. We think she has some problem with the basal ganglia but not sure what. It began when she was age 20 about 7 yrs ago. She has never had any children and began about the time her husband left her because she was not having children. Her history is not consistent. Don’t know if she had any kind of trauma or not although no history of such is given. On the way through the bush we saw some parakeets and some red billed hornbills.
THINK!! What can I do for someone this Christmas that they would not have or have done otherwise?
Matt 1:21; 2:2 Have you thought who were the wise men from the East that knew the prophecies so well and knew to look for a king or Saviour and followed the star? Probably descendents of Abraham also through Ishmael.
Love, Rollin and Dolores
