Things are going well. There are a few hang ups with patients but the majority is outside of HARTs control. So much corruption. Saw Charles, he was all smiles. His two sons joined him in the journey to the hospital. They were eager to tell HART thank you. They had thought for sure their fathers arm would be amputated. A similar thing happened to a friend and amputation was the result. They were shocked to see him after surgery.
Metrine with the arm has had some complications but is also grateful. So much weight was removed. When I interviewed Doctor Kwasa that was one of the famous cases. He mentioned that if someone had not woken up post surgery the record time has been three hours before case closed. He mentioned what an example it was for the doctors and nurses to stay ALL night to save her life.
The young boy with sickle-cell has had minor infection but the young mother was so grateful for the service.
I think the doctors scared Michelle, as soon as she saw those scrubs coming her way she started crying. But her nails were still painted beautifully. The burns have improved drastically from the dermatone. Her mother was so cute. She had carried such a guilt from the accident. Coming home to a screaming child that had been burnt by sitting on the fire.
So many people say thank you. They keep asking when the american doctors are coming back. And they also mention that the american doctors need to stay for months not one week. Cases keep coming as you can imagine.
This is two year old Brian from a village south of Kakamega. A canadian couple works at an orphanage by the time they heard about the doctors and made it to the hospital it was too late. But she gave me all and any information that we would need to contact him. She wants Brian to be first in line next year. Looks similar to Metrines case, she said by the end of the day he throws his arms on a desk and just sits because they are so heavy.
