Nursing update!

By Connie Anderson

Greetings Parents and Friends! I thought that perhaps you might all appreciate hearing a brief nurse report. We have all cared for each other as we have endured these various maladies, listed in no particular order: Nose Bleed, Bee Sting, hundreds of mosquito bites, bruises, blisters, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, muscle pains, cellulitis, allergies, sore throats, headaches, 1 Right ear pain, 1 Left eye infection, 1 splinter, minor sunburns, and lots of swollen feet/ankles due to the heat…..sounds horrible doesn't it??? Fortunately all have been treated and are responding well, only one person has actually been unable to work, and so that you are not in suspense or worried that it is your child or spouse…it was Dani, and she seems to be improving. Aside from ALL of this, our staff and kids are amazingly resilient! They are tough! They have kept their positive attitudes with each other, on the job site and with their VBS ministries. Their own personal issues have paled in comparison to what they are witnessing here and they have remained eager to be a part of this wonderful experience! You would all be proud of your individual children! I'm sure that you have been praying for our group, please continue so that God will bless us and those whom we wish to serve.

  2. Connie,

    Thank you for working so hard to take care of everyone. Meagan called tonight saying that her stomach is upset so much so that she can't eat very much. Also, her back is really hurting from mixing the concrete by hand. I asked her if she had spoken to you about it and she so no because you've been busy with others in worse shape than her. Would you please check up on her?

    Thank you.
