Our first day of surgery went well & the patients are now in their 2nd post op day doing fine.

Yesterday we went to Saturday Market. That was a great experience with lots of new fruits & veggies to look at and buy. Also it was a great opportunity to see the people in a normal setting rather than in the clinic or hospital. We continue to love the openness and warmth of the Cameroon people.

Today we attended Mass for the second Sunday here. The students were back, all 250 of them & their singing presence was wonderful. The Priest announced that there would be a second informational lecture on Ebola for all who are interested as well as he gave some advice himself. There is as yet no Ebola in Cameroon but it is in Nigeria which is on the western border of Cameroon.  Patients come to our hospital from Nigeria quite often.

It is sunny right now and warm. The day is beautiful.

By the way, we saw glimpses of the Oregon/Wyoming game at Drs. Brent & Jennifer on the internet. Reception here is slow so it was in video "bites" that we saw at least 2 of Oregon's scores. GO DUCKS!!

We have a full OR schedule for this coming week.

God Bless You All.
We appreciate your prayers.
