KMQ (Kenya Marble Quarry) Clinics

On Monday and Tuesday we did clinics in the KMQ area. Plenty of people showed up for both of them and kept us on our toes the entire time! At Tuesdays clinic we had a man show up with a wound on his thumb. The thumb was quite swollen so Dr Guild checked it out and found a small stone in it. Evidently the man works at the quarry. We put the stone in a small clear bag so he could take it to work and show them what we had found inside of his thumb.

It seemed like most patients had back aches, chest pain or bad coughs. We treated a lady that was probably in the final stages of cancer. She had a deep ulcer on her heel that was so deep you could see the bone.

After clinic today we all packed up for the Mara, loaded supplies on the truck and enjoyed a little more relaxed evening for a change. The group surprised me with a wonderful chocolate cake! It was a big surprise and appreciated a lot. My birthday is on Sabbath while in the Mara so I had no clue what was coming, but it sure was a yummy surprise!

Tomorrow we leave for Narok District where we will stop briefly in the town of Narok to donate a defibrillator to the hospital there (thanks to Cal-Ore) and will also have opportunity to visit the little girl that the mission group in July treated for a burned eye. She has had eye surgery since the July trip so it will be nice to see how she is doing and send the group an update on her.

We wont have internet or electricity till next Monday night - so wont be able to update the blog. Please keep us on your prayers though as we travel and continue to share Christ in Maasailand.

We will update you Monday night next week! Thanks for checking the blog and praying for us!
