Uganda

Today is sunday , I arrived on Thursday night. So many adventures already.... caught a baby last night with sticky shoulders, I am realy here to teach and supervise the local ,midwives but the woman was on a birth stool and this is a new contraption and it clearly made the midwife nervous...the woman had a alot of blood loss, and we had no medication except homeopathics...it finaly stopped with ipacac that made the mom cough ...scarey. Jenn Head caught twins, baby b footling breach, the night I arrived. The mama and baby are still recovering here because her husband is not attentive. (AKA shmuck) In other news we went to mass this AM at a bullet riddled church where people had taken refuge dueing the last war and 250 perished. I offered to father Arnold to repaint the mother Mary statue when my bag with art supplies and other goodies finally get reunited with me. Father Arnold said re-painting Mary was nice but he realy wanted the 12 stations of the cross painted along the 12 foot high walls between the windows! I dont think I have enough Paint! or time! I had the basics with me as carry on and I arrived safely but my check on bag took a detour. Internet is not easy to come by, but I will do my best to make updates.
