Quick Update

With 7 minutes to go of internet time....no wireless in Mbale! So, we drew for who goes where (except me because my research paper determined my lcoale)....Jasmine and Amy stayed in Kampala at Mulago Hospital. Tracy and Tamara headed off to Masaka with Cathy, and Ashley and I are now in Mbale with Grace. We got oriented rather quickly to our small hospital, and did a couple hours work yesterday soon after we arrived. Unfortunately the one birth we attended was a stillbirth of a baby boy. Very sad start.

Today was much better. We caught 3 beautiful little girls between us. And I was asked to name one, so my daughter Victoria now has a namesake in Uganda!

Time's up!

Rhonda and Ashley!

  3. You get right down to it! Sad about the little boy, but exciting news about the others, especially naming one Victoria.
