For this week's medical brigade, we hosted a group from Burnt Hickory Church of Christ in Atlanta. (We also had a group from Oklahoma that did VBS and construction, and a few of their group even came with us to the brigade).
In 3 days we saw a little more than 850 patients. We stayed busy right up until the last minute of the last day, but it went really well.
I LOVE this group. You just can't help but smile when working with them. They're all so light-hearted and truly seem to do everything with joy.
We had some stomach issues this week with both groups, which was a downer and I felt really bad for quite a few of our visitors! Still though, everyone worked really hard and I think overall had a great week. I was especially impressed with the awesome construction crew that worked so hard without complaint even though half of them were sick.
We were in a big auditorium this week, which I was slightly nervous about just because of noise and traffic flow.. Don't know why though because the space was amazing, and we had a nice view all week!
I gave this little man a breathing treatment. Explaining how to do it was a challenge, but he was so sweet, and after his treatments were done he was so excited about how well he could breathe!
5 a.m. is just the worst but at least it's pretty.
One of the visitors, Lydia, and a kid from the school next door, Alejandro, wanted a picture together after bonding on set-up day.
The group brought this first aid kit and some futbols for the school that let us use their auditorium, and the school director was very grateful.
A rare huggy moment caught on camera while somewhat working the store.
Now for a week off to get ready for the next 2 medical brigades in a row. SO EXCITED about not waking up at 5 a.m. one single time this next week!
And, as always, sorry about the HORRIBLE quality of photos that comes from my 150 yr old phone. (NOT complaining about having it though! Thanks for the phone, Jason!)
