Woke up to another adventure today. My plans were to finish writing letters to all the people here in the village and finish taking family pics. God's were different. Nichole came to the cabin and woke us up and said she was headed to the hospital to see Josephine who was to have surgery this morning and...it was my turn to go! Well, that meant I had to pack pronto! and tell everyone goodbye, pronto!
So off we were to the community hospital. Josephine is a little lady in one of the church villages who has been sick about a week. She wouldn't eat, she was very lethargic. She thought she was diabetic. Her husband brought her to Nichole and Nichole took her to the doctor. (She is 47 with a 5 year old little girl.) The story is that she married, had 7 sons and her husband wanted a daughter. Okay, one more try! Anyway, the doctor took blood tests and couldn't find anything, she came home and the doctor said he would come in the morning. Dr. Morales came and examined her stomach and discovered what he thought was a huge tumor near her intestines. Nichole took her to the private hospital and they transferred to the community hospital because we couldn't afford the private. Turns out her intestines had alot of blockages and burst and her organs were becoming infected. She had toxic shock syndrome. I just came from the hospital and she had surgery early this morning.
She is stable and has two more surgeries but doing well. I got to go in and see her. She is a miracle! God saved her life! Her little girl will still have her mommy! Praise God!
Right now, we are at a nice restaurant and going to meet with the doctors for lunch. They are friends and help Nichole out a lot. There's internet so I had time to send this.
We will be getting on the bus sometime today and leaving Huachinango for the border. It's a 12-13 hour ride.We'll be spending the night in the bus and should arrive at the border in the morning. When we leave Mexico, we will pick up our van and trailer and load up and head home, driving all day and night and with Godspeed, we'll see you Friday.
