Babies and Grenades are Booming

Its been very busy in the birthing center and so I am thankful for this bit of a lull we are having.  On Thursday two women called saying that they were in labor.  They both came and were still early on in the process.  Then another one came who also was going to be deleivering soon!  Now in the clinic we have room for 1 women to recover at a time, maybe 2 at the best of times.  So we cleared out one of the storage rooms and set up a cot and tent in there for a makeshift recover room.  Thank goodness the babies came spread out, two in one days and one two days later so we could handle it.  God never gives you more then you can handle.  Anyways for these births, in addition to everything i did for the other birth i also had to clean off the babies and dress them.  One of the women was fully dialated but her baby wasn't descending so i literally had to push hard on her abdomen, and help her get the baby out.  That was neat, i never felt so much a part of the birth!

Yesterday in a city 2 hours from here there was a big masacre where 29 people were masacred and then this morning a min war broke out there, with grenades and alot of violence.  All of the schools have been shut down here because it might be to dangerous.  Because of the violence over there, they are worried that more drug lords will enter to this area.  I don't notice any differences in my towns so please don't worry about that. 

Anyways thats all for now.
