We experienced a range of emotions lately.
joys, sorrows, triumphs, failures, questions, etc..
But is valuable food together. We know that God is with us and that the prayers of brothers and sisters we support. Where to start, so much to say!
the medical side (and emotional):
Yves made a relocation of a feeding tube into the stomach disinfected using a screwdriver.
Yves withdrew a broken branch, deeply embedded in the leg of a grandmother who did not bronchée (me, I would have fainted). 
A life was certainly saved, that of a boy who had cerebral pallu (malaria). Yves had to leave his talents to find a vein and the needle. A mother has brought his two weeks. She stopped eating for several days. It was cold and blue-green. Her little heart was too low (30 to 50 beats / min.) And lacked oxygen. She certainly had brain damage. His twin died at birth. All day we gave her care, but Yves knew it was a matter of time. Cheryl will be a very caring mother with the care she has given. We were already so attached to her. At dinner, she left us. Africa is so hard for little lives. First time, our hearts were wounded.
The clinic officially delivered his first baby. Just like us! We were not using Djallo. To complicate things a bit, it was a seat. Yves had "burst the waters" and all the amniotic fluid was green and brown watered. He did an episiotomy and the baby was out, but very difficult. We have revived the little and have fallen in love. Complications occurred a few hours later and we rushed mom (15 years) and baby. The mother died early and was given to a nurse. We expressed our great desire to adopt, but we did not have priority. For us it was like the flight. A second time, we broken heart broken ... but really! We had asked for a clear direction from God, but we did not imagine his refusal. He knew what He was exactemment. It has protected our hearts, because a week later the girl is dead.
"For I know the plans I have for you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29: 11
Cheryl's getting better and better. His little belly begins to interfere when she squats down and need support when lying on the side. But that they are Good news!
The clinic is a victim of its success. Every day dozens of people come for treatment. Djallo is supposed to heal and prepare Yves clinic. But the latter is often involved in care and can not advance installation of the clinic, particularly when there are patients in every room. Yves definitely lives frustration. With the committee of the clinic, they decided to close for 2 weeks. The first week, women will go to a conference on island in the Atlantic and men go to Conakry to buy medicines, cement, etc.. The second week, all will start the task to "finish" the installation.
Ramadan (fasting done by musulmams) call by Lent, ended Oct. 15. was a very difficult month because all day the believers could not drink or eat while there was light (6 am to 19 pm), even if they worked in the field by a heat of 33 degrees. The last day was Day in the village and the women danced.
Three new boys are added to the group of 8. Moreover, the biblical teaching has begun and our house we can hear them singing every night. Those who come to Jesus Christ will be the leaders of tomorrow and will have a significant impact on their peers.
But by then, persevere in prayer:
- Stay focused on what God asks us
- Pregnancy
- Cheryl What can withstand the heat
- Our health is so fragile in Africa
- The decision by some villagers to confess Christ as Savior and Lord.
- The biblical teaching of the 11 children
- Clinic
You rewritten soon.
