Can't believe it's already Thursday & tomorrow will be our last day at the hospital. We will have to pack up all the totes at the hospital, bring them back to the compound & then attempt to organize them for next year.
An update on little Ivania. Her surgery went well & she is recovering beautifully. She still is smiling in spite of her pain. She, along with her mother & baby sister, will probably begin their long journey home to the jungle soon. One of the Nicaraguan nurses said that it will take them a long time to get home. They will have to take a bus to a village & then walk several hours. From there they will take a donkey & then I'm not sure about the rest of their trip other than it's far from here & their home is in a remote village in the jungle. I wish her nothing but the best & can only wonder what her future holds for her. She will always be a sweet memory of time spent in Nicaragua.
We are planning on some of our Nebraska team going shopping for things for the kids in the orphanage tomorrow. We had special requests from donors to use their money for the orphanage & we want to be able to get pictures to show how their money was spent. The need is tremendous here so we can spend it many different ways that will benefit them.
Hope all is well at home& thank you for following our journey!
