So we had another birth on friday night! It was really scary though. The girl was fifteen and had absolutely no idea what she was doing. Her baby almost suffocated! It was a baby having a baby, literally. We couldn´t get her to push hard enough and Cecilia explained to her the her baby would suffocate to death if she didn´t push. And then, since she was such a small little person, Cecilia had to cut her to make room for the baby, but every time she saw the scissors coming she stopped pushing. The cutting wouldn´t have hurt if she was pushing because of all of the chemicals and hormones, but she´s 15, she shouldn´t be doing this. The baby was in the birth canal for 45 minutes, which is extremely dangerous, and when he popped out, por fin, he was completely blue and he definately had more of an alien head than the first baby. We ended up taking the mom and baby to the hospital because we needed to make sure he was okay and the mom tore really bad, but she wouldn´t sit still so that Cecilia could suture her back up so the hospital had to sedate her. Bad deal. We got the baby to cry pretty strongly, and we finally got him warm, but his extremities were still cold when they left. And then the umbilical cord was super fragil and tore really close to the skin, so we panicked a little because he could have bled to death if we hadn´t of been able to clamp it. Cecilia had to clamp it pretty close to the skin, so it´s gonna be painful for the baby and his belly button will probably be messed up. She was just too young. She had no idea how to give birth and how important it was to push! She seemed to want to give up every time it started to hurt a little. As a result her baby was very close to having died. I hope everything turns out okay. The dad was 17 or 18. Wowzers.
Saturday we didn´t end up being able to go to church because the road was impassable, but it ended up being a good thing because a family ended up coming to the clinic for church and steph had had a really good devotional that seemed to peak their interest a lot. It was along the lines of why you should be a christian type stuff. Then, we had lunch with one of our neighbors and then we walked to another neighbors and talked to them a while and they gave us curichi and 3 baby chicks. Unfortunately, the kitchen door got left open last night and pili ate the baby chicks. I feel really bad because they were a gift! We just got them and couldn´t keep them safe for one night. But I guess a dog is a dog. We also got another puppy last night! We named her lady after Lady and the Tramp, her parents are like toy poodle size, so right now she´s a month old and is about the size of a newborn rottweiler. lol. She slept with me last night, and she was starving, but she´s a little young to be eating real food. I got her to eat some mushy dog food, but she still needs milk. I´ll probably buy her some today in Pucallpa.
