Grateful for the Call to Mission



I have been working in the clinical ward of the cardiac center since November after our last Italian Mission Operation. 

About two weeks ago our local cardiac surgeon resumed his open heart surgeries on his three patients back to back within a week.  Unfortunately our first patient was very critical post-operatively because of complications. Our doctors felt he will not survive much longer, so most of the intravenous medications were discontinued. Miraculously the patient became more stable than before, although still with endotracheal tube connected to a respirator.  Then the second and third patients who followed had a successful surgery.

Lately I had the experience of taking a flight on a transport local plane with a patient who had a stent placement at St Elizabeth Hospital cardiac center who went home to Yaounde. This worked well because I had to go to Yaounde for renewal of my passport. I have met many kind people on this trip to Yaounde. I cannot ask for anything better than this.

Thanks be to God for my calling to mission.
