Jimmy and Chase Miller- Serving Kenya since 2011

"In matters which he took up pertaining to the service of our Lord, he made use of all the human means to succeed in them, with a care and efficiency as great as if the success depended on these means; and he confided in God and depended on his providence as greatly as if all the other human means which he was using were of no effect"                     Biography on St Ignatius It felt like I was using every human resource I had over the last weeks.  But it was only by the Grace of God that I was able to complete the work that was done.  God orchestrated every detail and touched so many people on this mission. I am amazed at the amount of work that was done on this trip! The patients were arriving from all over Kenya, traveling over 9 hours to get care for ENT issues.  I worked day and night to see as many patients that came to be seen.  Some had to wait 2 days to be seen but they were so gracious and thankfu...

I arrived to Tenwek safely Sunday evening after a 30 hour journey. Wow! they are in a serious drought right now. The water level is very low here and power shortages are 3-4 times a day and always at night.  there is not enough water to run the hydroelectric plant so they are drawing from the government power source which has scheduled brown outs. It gets pretty dark around here so if you don't always have a flashlight on hand you can get pretty lost. I have been very busy in outpatient clinic. There are many patients coming from "far" to be reviewed. We have seen 2 emergencies in clinic where our patients lost consciousness- one from nasal bleeding and the other from alcohol related hypotension and hypoglycemia. The problems have been variable including simple things like acid reflux, allergy, tonsillitis to a number of cancers, HIV related Kaposi's sarcoma, airway difficulties in children.
