More Pictures...

Whew!  We've been back almost a week now, so I apologize for the lack of updates.  I have a bunch of pictures to share, but I'll be spreading them out over the next few days, so keep checking back!

Polly Feeding Baby Zoe

Zoe was getting a lot more at each feeding with the bottles that Jason and
Dr. Vinit Mahesh were able to get before we left!  She'll be big enough for her
surgery in no time!

Tim, Holly, Tristan, Sean, Caleb, and Katie Anderson

Holly is the Powlisons' eldest daughter, and she, Tim, and their kids are in Peru until December to evaluate whether or not God is calling them to the mission field.  Their wonderfully supportive church in South Carolina is sponsoring them 100% during that time so that they can make a wise decision!  Please pray for them!

This little boy crawled up in Kristy's lap and fell asleep almost
immediately!

We didn't think we'd be doing medical missions in Peru, but God had other plans for us.  On the day before we arrived, the Powlisons' second daughter, Ellie, fell and hit her head while playing outside.  By the time we arrived, she hadn't been able to keep food down and was still rather listless.  Keith and Ruth decided to take her for a CAT scan that evening, but there was no neurologist to look at the scans.  Our very own Jonathan Barnette took some high-resolution photographs of the scans, and we sent them back (via Facebook!)  Dr. Vinit Mahesh, a pediatric pulmonologist and Ruling Elder at Southwood.  At 10pm that night, he printed them out and took them to a neurologist buddy of his, who didn't see anything of concern.  That really set Keith and Ruth at ease!  Happily, Ellie was more energetic and able to keep her breakfast down the next morning.

CAT Scan Lab in Cusco

Back at the hotel, Jonathan had to hang the scans up in the doorway to get a good picture
