This afternoon the missionaries, some who sported Santa hats, met to sin
g Christmas Carols to the pts in the hospital. We started in the Pediatric ward where Dr. Susan greeted the p
ts and then we sang a few Christmas Carols in Pidgin, we prayed, and handed out gifts to the pts and their families. Next came the OB ward with the moms and their new babies. Dr. Jim and Pattie accompanied the singing with their trumpet and flute playing. I got to give a gift to Rakel who has been here for almost 2 months. She delivered a premature baby on Nov 1, and is here until the baby gains enough weight to go home. Today she named the baby Megan. After OB, we went to C ward - medicine ward, where Dr. Bill and I have rounded for the past month or so. Most of these patients are folks I have gotten to know and pray with as they have been h
ere for a while, so it was a joy to be able to sing for them and share a little of Jesus with them as we prayed and ga
ve gifts to them. Then to surgery ward where there are a lot of folks with burns, and other trauma injuries. Tim Radcliffe, home for the holidays, got to visit with Peter for a while. Peter is a longtime pt of the hospital after becoming paraplegic. After this we went to TB ward and greeted the pts there, and then we went home.
