From Dr. Tom in the field

We got the first rain since November today. A good thunder storm with a lot of rain. It has been hot, 120° Fahrenheit  so the rain will cool it down.

The baby I admitted Monday evening that I told the dad that I do not know if she will live went home fine Saturday AM. We have not had a death here in over 3 weeks and we have had quite a few sick children. We treat God heals. God is good. The midwives have been busy with deliveries and though many have been difficult all babies and mothers are doing well. PTL

There were many folks who commented on the puff adder bite. Many wondered how she lived. She got bit on the finger tip and I do not believe the snake could inject enough venom to kill the woman. Her arm swelled up a lot. She actually came in almost 24 hours after the bite so I knew that if she was still alive she would probably live.

I am planning to sleep well tonight with the cool weather from the rain it may even get down to the 80s. Love, Tom
