Settling In

Yesterday the gunshot victim was flown to Juba where Sabet was waiting. It looks like he will have to be taken to Khartoum for surgery. Sabet is working on getting him there. Nyangeu is still in Kijabe Hospital with Huggins. A CT scan was done and revealed the skull fractures may need surgery. A specialist is reviewing the results to confirm. The surgery is risky so they won't do it unless they absolutely have to.



Since yesterday, things have settled down in the compound. No additional gun shots or gun shot victims. Today I was able to walk around and get to know the new people working here. Our new nurse/midwife's name is Priscila and she didn't hesitate to work right away.



It's nice to be back here with the people of Tonj. It's fun to greet the people waiting at the clinic. We get some cute kids there.



The new cook, Jane, is doing a wonderful job. I felt bad leaving Tonj after only working with her for only one week. However, she took over the kitchen and is doing great. It's nice to be free to do other work here.
