A mother brought her baby to the gate Friday afternoon, saying she needed a nurse to look at it. It sounded like it had a rash of some sort on it’s neck. Shana went out to see how serious it was, and came back, saying they should probably check it out. The clinic had been closed for […]

It’s been a while since we told you about the lady with the foot injury (See story here: A Ministry of Love) and we thought you’d like to see the improvement! She comes faithfully, each day, to have her foot rewrapped. It’s still not the most pleasant duty for the nurses to do, but they (just as
