Our mothers put up with a lot! Usually they don't complain about neonatal being hot and cramped with only the floor for sleeping. But this day, everyone was a little on edge as it was so hot…and so cramped…with so little space on the floor for sleeping! They asked me to please take a picture and show people how crowded neonatal is. And I have to admit, it was challenging as there was so little space for me to squeeze through to care for the babies!

My Ministry
- This is an album of pictures of my work. I am a registered nurse working at Kibogora Hospital in Rwanda, Africa since 2007. In 2012 the hospital administration team asked me to partner with the neonatal nursing team to decrease the infant mortality rate at the hospital. Through bedside nursing and nursing education over the past four years we have been working together to improve the quality of care the babies receive. We have reduced the infant mortality rate from 9.6% to 5.4% and have reduced the length of stay for most infants. I have loved working with the nurses, mothers, and babies and watching hope spring up in the community that if they bring a sick or premature baby to the hospital there is a very good chance the baby will go home well. It has been amazing to watch good nursing techniques and God performing miracles making a difference in our small corner of the world!
