Of course always on the go, we went to the hospital to visit them....I keep seeing that with 3 kids now things change a bit. We have always been on the go, in peoples lives, and involving our kids. Typically missionary in the past would send their kids to boarding schools, but now a days lots of missionaries hire someone to work for them and help watch their kids while they are ministering in the community. We saw that with most in Haiti.
For us, though, we wanted it differently. So we take our kids with us, but with 3 and one still under 1...I have to step back and let Brice do more, and I am seeing that is okay and it helps him be equipped even more as the leader. So on the trip to the hospital with so many sick the kids and I did not get to go in to love on all the sick children. But, Brice did get to go in....and as this is a blog about life here I thought some might want to know what the hospital is like here.
We circled around for close to an hour for a place to park at the hospital - there is none. I guess you have someone drop you off. Simone (the mother above) informed Brice that when they came in...they had to wait for 3 hours, there was no option. Even as her little boy continually vomited at 3 am all over himself, they made them sit there and there was nothing she could do to get him help before that. Later, after admission he did get an IV and care. So glad they did and are okay. And we'll be sure and take extra good care of you while here so you won't have to experience the hospital here!
