The Condori family was having breakfast when I came to the hospital this morning -- buns and coffee. Erselia was crocheting a mat for a lady who has befriended her and we had a good visit. Jhonny is still not responsive although his body is moving more and the doctor says that he thinks Jhonny will respond in a day or so. The doctors and nurses are saying he is looking better before we ask so that is also a good sign.
This afternoon Erselia and I went to another health clinic to check on the status of her pregnancy. She had gone to the doctor in Yapacani but they were unwilling or unable to go any tests. She presented the documents at this clinic and came out with a big smile on her face and ultrasound pictures of the baby -- not that we could decipher anything. She was told that is was a mujercita -- a girl -- and that it would be born in 9 weeks. I am sure that she is the only women in the community who was a picture of the baby and knows already that it will be a girl.
After tough days it is wonderful to have this ray of sunshine -- a sign of God's love and grace.
