ACC Tournie hits Kenya...

As most of you know the ACC tournament starts today. We are 8 hours ahead of home so we will miss a lot of it. However, Betsy had a strong rooting section today for the Demon Deacons. "Deacon Diana" as she has been so renamed, came to clinic dressed in Demon Deacon colors. She obviously knew they were playing today.
We also sent Diana home with this positioning seat. When we asked mom how she would get the seat home she said (as all Kenyans say) " No problem". She then put Diana on her back, wrapped her in a sarong, then grabbed the large seating chair. Lots of boda bodas here, which are motorcycles. Mom says to us " I will put it on boda boda". So off she went with Diana on her back and the positioning seat tied to the boda boda. Can you say determined mommy?







This lovely little girl, Dorkas, has become a favorite of mine (  I might say that about all of them). Dorkas is no different then my kiddos back home: Will work for bubbles or ball. So that she did. I then asked Dorkas to walk down the hall in a special walker. This clinic is slammed with people lined up in hallways, in wheelchairs, on crutches. In this country the  idea of a child with disabilities has come a long way. So as Dorkas walked down the hall an elderly man in a wheelchair cheered her on. Dorkas smiled, I smiled, mom smiled. Now if I can only get Dorkas to root for the Wolfpack, then she would be for sure be my favorite.

Special needs clinic day and Nellie

Image
Today we hit the ground running as Fridays are special needs clinic day. I asked in advanced what that means and what to expect. I was told mothers travel for up to 6 hours and line up to to see the Physiotherapist. On most Fridays only one PT, Solomon, sees up to 30 kids in 3 hours which is maddening. Today we had one OT, one PT, one peds PT,one aide, and Solomon on stand by. At 9 am we thought, this isn't so bad and then we saw them. Mothers walking up to the clinic in African style which is to say these mothers carry their special needs children on their backs in long wraps tied tight to hold the child in. I am talking teenagers with cerebral palsy, on their mother's backs, for hours upon hours. Wow, wow, wow. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. These mothers are dedicated with a triple !!!! So, we spent time listening to them, talking to them, and doing what we can to help. Again, thank you to the vendors who sent supplies. The Faith Fund that supports this clin

Today's lesson: Recycling is important

Image
Monday is neuro clinic today which means we saw children with spina bifida ranging from 2 weeks old to 4 months old. One of the nice things about working in this clinic is that we are right beside either the neurosurgeon or the orthopedic surgeon. We all talk as a team and they explain what procedures they are going to do. More importantly they learn what we actually do as therapists. Back home I feel some compartmentalized from the doctors and vice versa. They have learned from us as much as we have learned from them. Recycling is important in all forms. We have been cleaning the clinic, getting shelves built, organizing the materials. In the midst of this we found a post card from a teenager from TN who sent 50 pairs of orthotics, all of which she had worn as a child due to herself having cerebral palsy. Today, the cutest thing I have ever seen came into spina bifida clinic, Ruse, to see the neurosurgeon. This family traveled from Uganda which if you refer back to your maps you w

"This is bad" but thank you Joab

We said our goodbyes, gave our hugs and off we go.....screech....hault...a 4 hour traffic jam due to mudslides and roads flooding. More so , due to the very unique style of  driving here, cars come from everywhere to pass. There is no order, no control. 6 of us, including two children were stuck on the road in the Masai Mara for 4 hours.  Still 2 hours from a real city. I will be honest, I was nervous. It was getting dark and the rule of thumb is you get off the roads at night in Kenya. We sat there for hours, worried about our flights, about our luggage, about our safety. None of the adults would admit to this until we all got to the airport. In the middle of trying to calm the kids with funny stories, Preston who is 10, said " This is Bad".Well, he was right. We could not deny it and the driver, who is Kenyan, agreed. Finally, thanks to a Kenyan bystander who told us we had no other choice but to go off road and try and drive through the Mara we would still be there. Ken,
