Chrissy Journal 12

This week was a holiday week in Central America, Semana Santa, or Holy Week. The hospital had already said that Thursday and Friday would be holidays and the clinic wouldn’t be open, but when we showed up on Monday, the government had declared the whole week a holiday. We were already here and there were a few patients wanting to be seen so we saw them. Mario had arrived really early and had the newborn exams done by the time Sabreen and I arrived. We just saw a few colds, pink eye, and tonsillitis.
