A new life

There is nothing like a new born baby. They are so precious. My friend Heydi called me today to let me know her little boy had been born. I went into the hospital to see her and her baby. He is just perfect.
The Roatan Hospital is one thing I cannot get use to here. It is so different than our hospitals in the states. I get nervous each time I go there.
After delivering a baby all the mothers share one big room with about 8 beds in it, and one bathroom in the corner. Their babies lay beside them in the beds. At that point the ladies are basically on their own until they are discharged. They can have visitors and many of them did have someone there with them. I always feel sorry for those who are alone. There was one fan, yet the room was very hot. The women are to bring all that will need, NOTHING is provided. I went out and bought pampers, juice, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, and toilet paper for Heydi and Wendy, another girl that I knew who also had just delivered, a baby girl by cesarean.
I was so happy to see them doing well, and will be even more happy to hear they get to go home.
