M, D and L visit: Clinic Gallery

The nurse is in the building!  (Not me...Lindsay!)
Children who received a toothbrush and toothbrush from the donations from my home church, St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Decatur. 
Working in the pharmacy filling prescriptions -- Lindsay is getting the hang of it!
Mom and I in the courtyard of the clinic -- during clinic hours she was usually at our house sewing like mad!  Using a not-so-reliable machine, Mom made curtains for our whole house, and also couch covers for our living room furniture.  It sure looks great!
Julio, the foreman of the building of the dorm next to the clinic, is a hypertensive patient who has been doing great with his blood pressure and sugar and has recently quit smoking, but he jokes about how he still has trouble lowering his weight -- that's hard to believe when you see how hard he works!  Since he stops over in the clinic during his workday, as I was pricking his finger to test his blood sugar his hands were completely covered in layers of thick glue!  It was hilarious trying to peel some of it off to find a spot big enough for the tiny glucometer needle.
Me, Dr. Williams, and Lindsay -- hanging out in the pharmacy...at the last second, Martin said "Wait!" and instinctively Lindsay and I both squatted down a couple inches and Martin stood on his tippy toes -- it was pretty funny.
Lindsay and I with our new friend, Isis, who seemed shy at first but eventually turned into quite the model!
