A Long Day...

Today, we sent Nam, his grandma, little girl T. and her mother to hospital in Sai Gon for treatment. Nam, T and mother got HIV. It’s difficult to get them to the plane bcs Nam’s leg hurts and it takes twenty mins to get Nam a wheelchair. The people at the airport told us that Nam couldn’t get on plane bcs he couldn’t walk and grandma wasn’t strong enough to help him. They should help us instead of telling that. Finally, they arrived Sg safely and met the doctors there. They will stay there for long time. We hope both get better soon.

We rode straight from Da nang to Duy Xuyen to see patients at one local clinic which is very far. Thank to Carol and Vu for coming earlier to see patients because we don’t want to make them wait long. And we have a 87 year old patient that had been a farmer for 75 years. That surprised Dr Josh and Carol but most of Vietnamese in the countryside work really hard until they are too weak to work.
