Meeting the Statistics

This morning I got an email from Nic about one of their babies dying in the center in Mozambique. After hours of praying they felt lead to go and leave Lori in the arms of Jesus.

G returned this fall to her tribal area to find that Hope who struggled all of her short life had died the week before.


Yesterday I talked to Crys about her realization of newborn mortaility here in the US...in her hospital.

Children under five are at such high risk...the numbers becomes a bit more real when they have faces. It helps me put life and hard times in perspective. As one medical student told me this week when I was feeling like my brain was about to explode in chemistry "just jump through the hoop, jump through the hoop"
