Whew, What a day

When we walked into the clinic this morning there was the cutest little boy sitting there waiting for us to get there. Mind you the lights were all off and the doors cracked but essentially closed- it was dark and lonely. Anyways, we stood began to pray and he joined our circle. I looked over and he was bowing his head and holding hands with the people in our circle...I was one of those very cute moments- totally touched my heart.
My first patient today was a moment in time that I will never forget. The mother brought in her 22mos old child because he was not walking and not eating well. I looked at him and immediately knew this baby had CP. He was pretty text book, and mom had a pretty good story to go with it. But no one had ever told the mom this- they just said he had something wrong with his tongue, is why he could not eat right, and he had an eye problem. I had to explain to mom that the baby may never walk and may never talk and may never eat right. She (like any mother) looked devastated. I told her we could pray for her- then our translator/ and incredible van driver Baltazar, told me I got this. He began talking to her, and lead the woman to Christ. She got on her knees and Karis, Baltazar, and I prayed for her as she accepted Christ. Then Baltazar picked up the baby and Said this wonderful prayer over him. She began to cry.
I have so much more to share about the craziness of today but I must get to bed.
