Monday the 18th we had a strangulated inguinal hernia (did not require intestine resection) and also had strangulated internal hernia that had dead intestine that had to be removed. Also had a sigmoid colon volvulus (colon twists on itself and shuts itself off) All that was besides a scheduled hernia repair. This past week we also had a parotid mass that was mushy and very vascular and we did not get it all out as too involved with other structures and probably was a cancer. We had done her thyroidectomy previous that was possibly malignant and she had done well with that. In general the hospital has been slow except Pediatrics but even that is not as much as some previous years. We have a Pediatrician from Brazil that is taking care of Pediatrics for the next 2 months. We have a couple (Eddie and Carolina Perry) here this past week that want to start a clinic in the Congo. She is finishing a FP residence with some tropical medicine and he is doing ER work. They hope to go in the next year or so.
Our computor system has quit working so have had to go back to the writing out things on paper. Olen has spent lots of time with it and texting Zachri Jensen in Washington to try to get it going again. The computer that was using for server does not seem to cooperate. I am computer challenged so am no help.
Our generators all seem to be in good working order now. Had problems with a frequency sensor that was not adjusted right also a fuel filter problem but all seems ok now.
Everything is pretty and green now. Dolores' eye infection is much improved.
Putin recently signed into law that no Christian Bible studies were to be allowed even in homes. The window of opportunity for Russia is almost closed. The USA recently passed laws that will make it difficult for Christian schools and institutions to operate. Many of the Moslem countries have laws against Christianity and so difficult to tell the story of Jesus. We hear various ones talking about possible world financial collapse. The end surely must be near. What are you doing to let people know about the soon coming of Jesus? "Even so come Lord Jesus"
We will be gone on vacation annual leave the next 2 months leaving July 29.
