Teaching from Honduras

Her patient load would not allow for her to travel to East Texas, so we brought her to the conference via a video phone call.

Snapshots

All of a sudden, I am running a muscular mystery clinic and racking my brain wondering how these children have survived so long with so little help…

Looking stateside…

…remembering that the perpetual summer of coastal Honduras is not the weather in the rest of the world…

Extra hours, extra nights, extra patients.

Coming back to Honduras, I hit the ground running. September and October are the months we have a lot of visiting medical teams, and the preparation for them is intense.

Honduras – “Delight yourself in the Lord”

This past September, she was declared cancer-free. And oh, how we rejoiced! To see a child beat the odds. In a country where the circumstances already seem to be exponentially stacked against a child surviving, cancer seemed to be a certain death sentence. And yet, Osiris made it through. We thought this struggle was behind us.
