Last year a nursery was established adjacent to the Maternity Nurse’s Station. Most days it is empty as the babies usually are with their mothers on the Maternity Ward. Sick or premature babies are kept in the Nursery. Since we are still in the rainy season it was time to pour.
This morning there were 7 preemies in the Nursery ranging from 2.5 to 4.0 pounds and all were doing well. The first 6 got incubator space only because there were 2 sets of twins. The hefty 4 pounder is relying on a half dozen blankets to keep him warm. 2 of the babies were born at Health Centers and referred here because of there small size.
Jim and Terry Hake have been at St. Martin de Porres Hospital in Njinikom, Cameroon since July 2010. With the prayerful support of their family and friends, and relying on Our Lord to be their daily companion, they are in the second year of a three year mission.
