Start up tomorrow

The second group of folks arrived. We are mostly set up and ready.
Today I spent a little time with the patients being screened. They scheduled a small handful of patients to get ECHOs. 16 showed up. Then 12 more cam from Nairobi-mostly babies and small children. Needless to say they didn't screen all of those patients but we did select our first two patients. They didn't give names but they are both young ladies...a 25 year old and a 24 year old. I met one today. She has a beautiful smile.
All of the pediatric patients came with ECHO reports from Nairobi and I flipped through them. Again I am struck by how hard it is that we will not be able to help so many of these patients. Several of these pediatric patients are beyond what we can do here (Truncus with a single coronary). It is hard to meet the children, see their faces, shake their mother's hands knowing that we can't help (I have a picture of some of these sweet face that I will hopefully post later).
Thankful yet again that God knows each of these children and mamas and what he has in store for their lives.
This was one of the scriptures from church this morning. Thought it was a great way to start out the week
2 Chronicles 29:10-13
 Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you;  you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
