Before Christ and Good News

Before Christ with Mom

Frequently children are named after virtues such as Patience, Mercy, Faith or Prudence.  Today, there was a child on the ward with a name I had never seen before, Before Christ.  He is a cute little guy and I decided to just call him BC.  I can only assume that mom plans on having another son and I think I know what he will be named.

Good news arrived this week at the TB and HIV treatment center.  We have a good supply of both drugs now.  I will actually have to make a clinical decision about starting HIV or TB drugs first rather than going with which ever is available.  We are all thrilled that our patients can get the drugs they need for these life threatening illnesses.
