Las Flores (former plan was to go to Las Brisas)- got there by vehicle- we all packed into a truck- I think we fit 14 people in the flat bed of the truck (with bunches), and 7 people in the front cab part, with a pretty rough road, and a minor water crossing.
Emily’s day in the pharmacy! Had a lot of fun working with the girls in the pharmacy- I think we ran a pretty tidy ship. There were a few pretty sick kids seen today- two needed albuterol nebs, another we felt should go on to the nearest actual clinic and maybe hospital. There was a woman who did know she was pregnant until our test, and she had 7 children already.
We had a nice set-up in a part of the school; we also had very good crowd control. It was kind of nice to take it easy in the pharmacy today.
On the way back, Jennifer, Carol, Miriam, and I went to a meeting with Dr. Marta to discuss me working at the clinic week after next, and to discuss our clinics so far, and VIA. Should be interesting! My Spanish is coming back/improving daily- hopefully I will understand what is going on when I get there a week from Monday (8am sharp!).
This evening was eventful- lovely swim. Turns out that Mike had a frustrating day where he and Tim were waiting on Edgar to go get materials and get to work, but E was with us in the town all day (this actually really sucked). The evening proceeded with one of our party cutting her finger with a scalpel, and another breaking her tooth at dinner, oh and there was a needle-stick earlier in the day.
