more of the same...

so it's monday, we opened the clinic today... saw more of the same. another case of anthrax in a little boy. that's the fourth kid we're treating on a daily basis. one of the reasons i appreciate working with neonates instead of older kids... their memories are so short! the minute the older kids come in they start crying knowing that they're about to get a shot... and we have to give them for about 10 days in a row. i know it's necessary for them, but i still feel bad.

the other thing that seems rather prevalent here are cases of shingles (or 'zona' as it's called here). i guess i didn't realize that it was so common. we've seen quite a few cases in the couple days that we've been open to the public.

alrighty, not much new to share, so i'll go! thanks for reading and praying!
love, jill
