So today I gave injections, lots and lots of injections. I worked in the Well Baby Clinic and gave all of the little children their vaccines! It was a great experience but I felt bad that I was the enemy to all of these little children. After I was finished giving injections I went back to the labor and delivery room to help Olive. There I found out that she was really busy. One of the pastor's wife came into the hospital in labor, this was her 15th pregnancy but only her 10 living child!! When she first arrived we thought that she was going to have some major problems because the placenta looked like it was too close to the cervix, but praise God everything went well and she had a healthy baby girl. Next we had a set of twins arrive from the city hospital. We were told they were born the night before by c-section and their mother hemorrhaged at the hospital and died that night. The babies were then brought to us and they were blue. The doctors and nurses quickly got them on oxygen and under warming lights and they started to turn pink again. Sadly they are still having a hard time breathing so the doctors used a trick of theirs by tying a string to the top of the incubator and attaching the other end to the babies chest. This helps so that the babies chest won't collapse. After that we had another normal delivery making my delivery count at 8! I left the hospital early today because their was a special dance celebration back at the mission. The celebration was suppose to start at 2:00 but when we made it back to the mission at 3:00 it still had not started. Finally at 5:00 the women showed up and sang and danced for us. It was a lot of fun! Today was a good day and God is giving me strength to make it through the day. Thanks for all your prayers!
