From Andrew in Doro

It started well as the kids seem to do better this am. I went to town with Dean and got my fill of cokes. We had lunch there and roam around and walked back in 95+ weather. There were actually a little clouds today so a bit cooler.In the evening, the IV of the sick child fell out. We tried an hour in the dark (only with flashlight) to try to get another IV but couldnt. The baby is still quite out of it and not able to drink any water. Some people went out there now with a translator to pray with the family for a miracle. The life of that baby is really in His hands now. The other sick child is also not turning around quickly despite all our efforts.
The local staff here (consist of an American trained PA and a Sudanese doctor) and I make a good team as they have the knowledge of tropical diseases and I have the ability to treat acutely ill patients. I give praise for new friendships with the local people, good working relationship with the missionaries here.
Top Pleasant Surprises in Sudan:1. The beauty of this land.2. Incredible sunsets, sunrises, and starry skies at night.4. Goat meat is quite tasty.5. Can get cold cokes at town!6. How good cold showers feel and how relaxing it is outdoors under the moonlight!
