Beginnings of...Cholera

Our hospital is now being used for a cholera observation center. Setting up the big tent for the initial observation before moving the cholera patients into the hospital.

The guards at the yard entrance screening for cholera patients. Appears to be a cheery bunch!:)

Here the guys are cutting sheets of wood to lay on the beds for the cholera patients.

Mr. Chlorox on the run...:) This is one of the janitors who does a great job at keeping everything sanitized. The floors get mopped and bathrooms get cleaned with chlorox many times a day!

Willing nurses ready to help with our cholera patients. It can be difficult to find help, seeing as most Haitians are very scared of the disease.

This lady was our first obviously cholera stricken patient at the new hospital. The nurses had a challenge trying to put in a IV into this sick patient.

This mountain lady is the mother of a man that died on Monday morning from cholera. This man became ill after coming across the lake with some others infected with cholera. In 12 hours he had died, and passed the disease onto family who was caring for him.

Please continue to pray for the sick and for those working with the disease!
