Window on Kisiizi

Window on Kisiizi

Saturday 12 May 2012

We arrived in Kisiizi 2 weeks ago today after a smooth trip via terminal 5 Heathrow courtesy of BA [chosen as we had 3 bags of luggage each].  Spent a night in Matoke Inn, the AIM guesthouse, and had the happy opportunity to meet up with old friends Irene Kambonesa and later Edward & Enid Turitwenka.

On the journey down to Kisiizi we stopped off in Mbarara to visit Sister Esther Kobusingye who recently retired and lives very conveniently close to the main road.

We had a warm welcome on arrival here and have spent these first two weeks working through administration issues with Dr Tonny Tumwesigye, outgoing Medical Superintendent, who left this morning.

Hanna has been organising arrangements for a new batch of much-needed oxygen concentrators donated by Kisiizi Partners.  Ian has done some paediatrics, mainly neonatal rounds.  Transfused a very preterm baby last night, only weighs 780 grams, she looks much better this morning...

Thanks for all the messages of support and the prayers which are much appreciated.  The internet was off almost the whole of the first week or so but now it is improving so we hope to be in touch more often.
