Day three in the clinic went very smoothly and the team was extremely cohesive. Everyone was working together to care for each patients physical and spiritual being. The theme of the day was weaving the gospel into each treatment session and building relationships. It was a day filled with multiple therapists working together on one patient to brainstorm and come up with the best way to meet the need. Tori and Sam worked together to make repairs to a wheelchair for a lady that was a bilateral amputee. They also taught her ways to transfer herself in and out of her wheelchair to be more independent. April, Meghain, and Amanda saw an adorable older gentleman who had fallen out of a coconut tree and has become a quadriplegic. They educated his family in proper ways to stretch him and how to care for him to improve his quality of life. With these two patients it was extremely encouraging to see how well they were being taken care of. In Haiti most of the time the disabled are not well cared for because there is a lack of knowledge about quality of life. Back school was a success again today. Sam took the opportunity to share the gospel with all that attended. Tonight we were able to worship with another group that is putting on a camp for youth in the community. It was an amazing time of encouraging each other and speaking out loud our hopes for Haiti as a country and Carrefour as a community.
