August 3rd - The Clinic

My clinic hours today went from 6:30am - 2:30pm. I had to scramble to fill in the schedule for the week because there are only 3 of us that are "safe" to be here. Two of the 6 volunteers haven't had chicken pox OR the vaccine and a 3rd volunteer speaks NO Spanish (so we figure in an emergency situation...that'd be a necessity).

Andrés came in at noon and said he was sick (sick to the stomach & had a fever). Little did I know at this point (since I'm writing quite a bit after the fact) that he'd be sick for an ENTIRE week, and due to my being at the clinic so much...I wouldn't be able to see him & check up on him.

Around 4pm I went with 2 of the long term volunteers to make bread with 3 girls from the medium house before settling in for the night.
