“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10

A newborn was brought to our clinic with neonatal tetanus and is in the ICU. We have an Intensive Care Unit actually is just a room in building next to the observation room. With the added nursing staff the patients are well cared for in the competent hands of our three nurse midwives.

Dennis and the team have been caring for a young child with pneumonia and meningitis. Who before arriving at our clinic had convulsed for over 7 hour. The convulsions were stopped with meds but after convulsing that long the child remained in a coma for 6 days. We are still trying to wipe out the meningitis but the child is awake and breast feeding. Please pray for this child and the newborn with neonatal tetanus.

Last night Annie diagnosed a woman with cord compression who had been trying to deliver for 2-3 days in the village. Annie immediately realized that a C-section was needed and began the transfer process. The mother and her in utero child were transfered to Wau by our ambulance being accompanied by Auxillia our nurse midwife.

Auxillia who was hearing a fetal heart beat insisted the woman be seen by the surgeon. She stayed and did the resucitation on the newborn and the parents were very happy with a healthy baby boy.The surgeon told her that we must have a good team at IDAT because our diagnoses are always right. A good team with God as the head .

When the ambulance pulled up to the hospital in Wau several of our patients came to see who was brought this time to wau. A lady with obstructed labor who had C-section with out come of a healthy mother and baby. A woman who almost bleed to death during village delivery who we transfered to Wau for a transfusion.

All these people were helped by quick diagnoses and transports to Wau. But we are greatful to God for the construction of our new clinic and many of these things will be done in here in our clinic.

Please pray that God meet with all the medical supplies needed in the clinic, and will provide all the materials needed for the completion of our new clinic.
