It’s been a busy week for Jay at the hospital. Here are some cases he rounded on this
morning. Please pray for:
-An 18-month old baby with a fully collapsed lung who had
surgery yesterday to drain the infection. The lung infection pocket had popped
and air from the lung was filling the cavity.
-A mother 26 weeks into her pregnancy. Her husband beat her
and her water broke. She is on bed rest. The only neonatal intensive care units
are in Quito. So far the hospitals there have not accepted her.
-A regional soccer player came to the ER with a stab wound
to the abdomen last night after being at a bar. The blade just missed vital
areas. Jay said it was weird to put his finger in the little hole in the skin
and be able to feel all the way back to the man’s liver. The blade hit some
arteries and blood was pooling internally. Obviously, God isn’t finished with
this young man yet. Pray for his heart and for the staff to be able to minister
to him.
-A mother who lost a lot of blood during a delivery with
placenta complications. She was transferred here from another hospital to
address the bleeding. Members of the staff have given her three pints of blood.
-An 11-year-old boy who tripped and fell into a very large
cooking pot of hot water. (Jungle villages cook as a community and use giant
pots.) His mid-section has severe burns. Pray for his pain as the dressings are
changed.
