Nancy

Self Portrait

Two days in a row I have accompanied Nancy to the hospital in Limuru. Her right eye has been swollen shut since Thursday and her hearing has been fading for a while. Yesterday (Sunday) I woke up early to a message from Moraa asking me to come see Nancy and when I got there we determined that she needed a trip to the hospital that she had been referred to by the school. After getting to the hospital and waiting for a couple hours they took Nancy to the examination room and concluded that she would have to see a specialist whom would not return until Monday (today).
     Ian and I repeated the scenario again today, but thankfully we were able to get a diagnosis and some dawa (medicine) for little Nancy and soon her eyes should be all fixed up. As for her ears, we are unfortunately going to have to wait until next Tuesday to see a doctor as there is only a ear specialist available twice a month.
     Though the last two days have been very exhausting and involved more patience than I knew I had in me, I am happy to see Nancy is being well taken care of and will be back to school tomorrow.
