Many of you donated to the Surf-A-Thon last year, and here
is the result – Eddie’s house on campus.
I never got to see it completed.
Just two days ago, there was an electrical fire in the breaker box, but
thank God Eddie was just outside, heard the popping, and was able to put it out. The whole house could’ve easily gone up in
flames. Needless to say, we’ll be seeing
about getting that fixed! Ugh.
Yesterday was another interesting day with two surgical
cases. One was a fifteen year old girl
with a rare tumor above one of her front teeth, which was a retained baby tooth,
causing her front lip to protrude. Her
permanent tooth was impacted by the
tumor. The tumor consists of dozens of what are like "tiny teeth". After she heals and I leave, the
clinic will make her a partial denture to replace the tooth. (Black and white to make it a little less
gory)
The other case was a man who had a fat tumor (lipoma) in his
cheek for seven years. He probably is hating us today, but should be
thankful in a few weeks. Today is a
couple of more “routine” dental surgeries (if there’s such a thing in Liberia).
