The old jokes still work -- Hanna, conveniently O Negative, gave some blood this morning to help a baby with severe anaemia and a mother with clotting problems following post-partum haemorrhage; the midwives were laughing that the recipients' hair was already looking straighter...
Hanna also did a breech delivery with Dr Francis this am and resuscitated the baby all before coffee!
As well as ward rounds we spent some useful time talking with Dr Tonny Tumwesigye, the Medical Superintendent, recently returned from a visit to UK. We discussed various aspects of Kisiizi life and the liaison with Friends of Kisiizi.
Eric, now a Tutor in the Nurse Training School, who had been here when we lived in Kisiizi, gave us the photo of his son's twins born in Kabale and now in Mulago Hospital, Kampala. They are conjoined and have been undergoing tests to work out which organs are shared etc and what prospects there are for separation. They seem to be growing and staying quite well so far so please pray for the medical team to have discernment in the right course of action.
Ian and Hanna
Keep in touch!
we enjoy hearing from you...
