Sara's Journey

Thursday, one of patients who has HIV and a huge wound on his leg, and penis went into a coma. He had been at the hospital for a month, and we kept telling the family to take him to get medicine for his HIV which they never did. Thursday, he went into a coma and they took him home to die. I was sad but he was so miserable, most of all I was frustrated that he did not go and get medicine for his HIV. That reminds me the 27yo who I was afraid was going to die, is ok. He has HIV and TB, he has started treatment and is feeling much better. He feels so good that one day I came with some milk for the malnourished babies, I left it on his bed and went into another room, when I came back he had drank the milk. I think he has a little too much energy! Yesterday, I got to the beach, and it was so fun to get away. We took the motorcycles which I really enjoy, except we were trying to fit three adults onto one motorcycle. It was a little too tight for comfort. I did not understand because the Haitians do it all the time, but then I remembered that all of us girls had at least 15lbs on every Haitian. Then at the end I got bounced and burnt my leg on the muffler, which actually really hurt. So I am now thinking that a tap tap with 30 people crammed in is much better! This morning I was woken up and called to the hospital, Mervens the malnourished baby died before I got there. AM and I are like what is going on? People at the hospital seem to be much sicker, and we just have had a lot of people die lately. Keep us in your prayers please!!
Also, an animal update. Um first of all the cow is back! I am not happy about this. He now likes to nibble on my hand or leg, which kinda tickles but is very scary because he has large teeth. On the plus side two tarantulas are dead, and a rat!! The rat was killed by a guy at the hospital who hit is on the head with a rock, which is pretty impressive!! .
