It's hard to believe but days 2, 3, 4 are in the book!! On Tuesday we saw about 300 children in the eye clinic, 350 yesterday, and about 250 today. Many children are able to pass the initial screening for vision and do not have to see the eye docs.
Today was an early finish because we have been invited to a reception by the US Embassador and needed to get cleaned up and out early to beat Nairobi rush hour.
The entire count at our location which includes the medical, dental, and eye clinics has been roughly 1700 children seen per day! Every child is getting medicine for de-worming.
In the eye clinic we have seen some interesting diseases , but surprisingly this popular of children have pretty good eyesight as a whole. We have also had to deal with a number of children "faking" poor vision in order to try to get glasses. This makes it harder for us because we need to make sure that there is no health concerns that is making it so they can't see.
Nonetheless, the children are very well behaved. They also are soft-spoken, which is a little tough in the noisy clinic building.
