We heard from Val this morning she made it through the night OK but no sign of Punzel yet. She plans to look again tomorrow.
Liz did 3 spays and 2 neuters today. Julia and Heidi assisted with administering various medications (dewormer, pain meds, flea meds, antibiotics and sedation), maintaining anesthesia, keeping records and recovering patients. The owner had been giving two of the female dogs human birth control pills therefore one had a great pyometra (pus filled uterus)!
We met several other American missionaries in the area who work with the people in various capacities, including working with handicapped children. The attitude toward handicapped people here is about 50 years behind what it is the US mostly they are hidden or ignored. We were pleased when we did the trip to Bushenyi to help in Dr. Kasiimes village. When all the relatives filed by to great us and shake our hands I noticed there was a very happy looking mentally retarded young man who was included.
