Wednesday
morning was spent moving all the supplies and equipment in storage from
Maynor’s office, the “ranch”, and Sam’s storage building to the hospital. We also had to move some of the hospital
equipment out of the clinic room, carrying the two dental chairs from their
hospital storage location. Do you care
to guess the weight of a dentist chair?
The answer is VERY HEAVY.
All the surfaces were disinfected with
wipes. After Randy, Charlie, Karen, and
Erin arrived and had lunch and returned to the hospital to set out all the
supplies and made ready for the first of our patients Thursday morning. It may
have appeared to be mass chaos but Karen, Erin, Charlie, and Randy—with some
able assistance from Patty—made the clinic just about ready for operation with
the exception of the mobile dental unit.
We interrupted our work to visit the Wednesday feeding at Tejeras. Our traveling dental team always enjoys
assisting in the feeding. Once again,
some Aiken friends sent a large duffel bag of clothing for distribution to the children.
After returning
to the ranch to clean up, Charlie and Randy went back to the dental clinic to
finish preparing the “MASH” unit. Allen
and Gail returned from Santa Clara after attending a meeting of the Advisory
Board of the White Dove multi-language school.
The
entire “clan” gathered for dinner and fellowship.
Once again, the uploading of pictures to the blog was not sucessful; however a full file of all unedited photos is available at: https://plus.google.com/
