Chrimailove came in on Saturday.  She is 6 weeks old.  She started developing a serious skin problem 4 days ago.  Please pray for her.  Her mom, grandma and aunt are currently staying with us for her treatment.

We had a major accident come in Saturday afternoon.  So bad that I do not feel like I can even post the pics.  A man was working in his garden on the side of a mountain and a rock fell down and smashed his face.  We did our best to get him stable and send him into Doctors without Borders to be repaired.  He jaw was broken in several places and he was in bad shape. 

At the same time this little baby came in.  It was 6 days old and had not pooed or peed since birth.  They parent had never been to town before.  They had never traveled on a moto or vehicle.  They were refused at Doctors without Borders and sent to another hospital.  The child was admitted but no help was offered by a doctor.  The baby died that evening.
