On Tuesday and Wednesday we went on an overnight bush clinic. We checked all the pregnant mothers on Tuesday (I learned how to check the position of the baby!!!) and on Wednesday we had 215 babies under 5 come in to get immunizations. It was crazy! I got sick though; i threw up in the middle of the night in my tent. It was so gross! I feel bad for Elena, the other SM girl. It smelled pretty bad. I wanted my mommy!
Last week, we had a little boy come in to the clinic at like 7:30 pm after it was closed. He had fallen and hit his head on something and split his face open on the bridge of his nose, between his eyes. I got to help stitch him up. I held cotton over the wound to stop the bleeding and then I got to push the needle through for one of the stitches. I still don’t feel very well since my throwing up experience. I might go get tested for malaria.
