A Visit to La Haucana's Hospital




Madeline came down with a bug that caused her Asthma to act up. It required an emergency trip to the hospital. Upon waking Tuesday morning, her lungs were greatly constricted and she was having to push to get what little oxygen she was getting. We had a very good experience there. Read the post, "Special Treatment".

This is one concern I had to surrender to the Lord before leaving the states. With a daughter who has food allergies, syncope spells and Asthma, I knew it was very likley she would require medical attention in a four month period. (We always do at home). Knowing nothing about Mexico's medical sytem, I aimed to fully trust the Lord.


The school principle sent both a teacher and a student with us to the hospital. The student was able to translate for us. The teacher showed us where to find the hospital and pharmacies.

Madeline has recovered nicely at home after recieving all the care she needed.
