Chaos and Spiders

Wednesday, May 13th, still no internet. Ok I had to write really fast about what happened yesterday. To start off with I woke up at 4am to go to the bathroom and there was a spider sitting on the toilet seat. Of course I was practically comatose so I was unable to kill the spider, and it went and hung out at the base of the toilet which was not ideal. Later, Ryna saw three legs poking out from under the toilet seat, which is just wrong. I should have known that a crazy day was upon me. I started off morning rounds at the hospital where I had to say goodbye to my baby Eli. He has gone to live with his aunt, he is eating, smiling and laughing!! I will miss him. After that I went to the clinic and walked in on a delivery of twins(my favorite) except the first was breech which is a bad thing. But everything went well(he was 10lbs); until the second baby came out and she was not breathing. AM and I had to CPR for an hour before she started breathing on her own, it was so scary. Then at about noon we had a 28day old baby come in with a fever of 108.0. No you did not read that wrong! 108.0, we gave her medicine and tried to cool her down, after about half hour she was at 107.2 It was insanity, I don’t even know how she is alive, I had never heard such a thing. She felt like she was literally on fire. So yesterday was kind of a miracle baby day. But who knows how those babies will be in the long run, I did not feel victorious. After the clinic we got home at about 5:30, ate something and ran to the hospital for evening rounds which we did not finish until 8:30. Then to top the day off, both Ryna and I had spiders inside our bed nets. Mine was a baby tarantula the size of a big cockroach. I said I had to kill him because he looked like Satan himself coming to get me. It was very scary. Then we killed the one in Ryna’s bed, as we were doing that I saw another one running around inside my mosquito net. After we killed that one we found another one on our table. Needless to say we were under attack, and it was not how we wanted to end the day. Then today, we started off at the hospital and we said goodbye to Anide, the baby who had no life in her, she is also smiling and wanting to eat. Yippee. We are down to one mystery baby!!! Then we went to the clinic where we had another woman deliver twins, both boys, and the second one was breech! But both are doing well, they are the mom’s 9th and 10th kid. All I can say is chaos and spiders.
