Saturday, 19 Mar 2011

Cholera is increasing. Friday night we had 17 patients overnight. Saturday morning Dr. Bosse discharged 8 patients. By Saturday night it was up to 21 patients. 10 of these patients came from Pine Forest, about 2 1/2 hrs. drive up the mountain. 2 people related to these 10 patients already died up in Pine Forest.

While some of the group hiked to the top of the mountain, Joanna and I took our boys to play in the creek just below a spring.

  3. Somehow when I sent the pictures to Blogger from Picasa, they did not show up after I published the blog. But now they do since I uploaded them straight to blogger. Not sure why this is.
