What a day today has been. Our patient returned today and things looked a lot better. It's still not known if this woman has an infection or cancer but, there was so much dead tissue the Dr. did surgery and removed quite a bit. There are not words adequate enough for what I saw today. The strength and courage of this woman, the way the medical team worked together under the circumstances (no proper OR, no electricity, not sucky, but sucky, syringes, the list goes on), the way the Dr. took everything a step at a time, the way the non-medical team member stepped up, help this woman's hand, translated walking her through and comforting her the whole time, the way our team "assisted," comforted this woman, prayed. God was there.
I don't think I've fully processed, nor can I.
Pray for this woman. Pray for a miracle, for healing, pray it is not cancer, pray God gives grace and strength to the one who has to step up and care for this wound after the Dr. leaves Wednesday. Pray that the supplies we need, and are low on, to care for our patient will provided when they are needed. Pray for this woman's heart and soul.
