Wednesday

We had a long day followed by shopping for handcrafted items made by local women and dinner in town,  so no chance to catch up until tonight (Thursday).  The best story of the day involves a baby in the village of Otoxha.  A student   from a college group asked us if we could look at a one week old baby who was sick with a rash.  Apparently Gordon thought that wearing scrubs made him a doctor, because he was the first one to take a look at the little one. He determined that she did not have a fever and then Don M. took a look at the rash. He took a picture of the rash and then drove down the road to Corazon Creek so that Rose could make a diagnosis. Her diagnosis was that the baby needed to see a doctor.  The baby was put in the bus with the college group heading into town.  When we checked today the baby was doing fine.  Gordon is considering a new career.
