Early morning at the hospital with everyone starting to check in to be seen.
Donating blood..... we will not be able to donate in the US for 3 years after a trip to Africa.
Kadia, one of the first patient to be treated for ALL at the hospital, arrived for her final chemotherapy visit. She is an example of the amazing things that can be done through donations to the Cancer Fund at Koutiala Hospital. What a happy day for this little girl!
Adama (Burkitts) along with his mother and sister.
This little boy with severe bowing of his legs (Blount's disease) has been repaired in Niger and is back for a recheck of his casts. Dr. Brett is very pleased with the results.
The cancer patients and their families seem to stick together at the hospital. Many of them have been at the hospital for months. The risks of infection during intensive chemotherapy make it difficult and unsafe to return to their home villages.
Even the young girls carry their baby sisters around. Nice hat to keep the head warm on a "cool" day.
Sheri with one of her favorites, Kadia!
Covered in dust all of the time....
