Hospital visits

We get updates from the pastors and farm managers fairly regularly, depends on the week and what is going on.  

This week was different.

We received these pictures from Rony in Las Botijas and a brief explanation.  

I'll translate:  "We went on Sunday to take a sick sister to Zambrano (the town down at the main road) who was in pain."  (Later found out she went from there to Comayagua to the hospital)

"Then we brought her back today (Monday) and she came with a baby."

Wow.  

So they used the Land Cruiser as an ambulance (not the first time in these areas) but it appears everyone was in for a surprise.  

My bigger surprise is that she went down on Sunday on that somewhat, oh who are we kidding, VERY bumpy road, and then right after giving birth went right back up the next day.  

Darwin then sent me some pictures of using the actual ambulance here in Tegucigalpa to help a family whose grandmother had broken her hip.  The hospital was sending her home because there was nothing more they could do for her, she could go home to die.  But she couldn't walk, and the family had no funds or way to get her home.  He stepped in to help.  
​
Hospital visits here are scary things, regarding the reason.  Some things are available for a price, some specialties or treatments just aren't available no matter the hospital you can afford.  One visit may end well (whether quick or exhaustingly long) and another quite differently, often without answers or reasons.  

The realities of that are faced every day throughout the mission, throughout Honduras, in different ways.  It gives us pause to pray, to see how we can do more in the clinic and Churches, and to focus ultimately on each moment we are given and not look too far down the road, as bumpy or smooth as it might currently seem to be.
