When your baby is born at 2.6 lbs., you spend a lot of time waiting for the baby to grow big enough to go home! This mama is responsible for feeding her baby, weighing him each day, bathing him, and changing the bedding. She also has her own personal hygiene, the laundry, and cooking her own meals. But even with all of this, there’s still down time when she’s just...waiting. Perfect for a nap! But we don't have the space for beds for the mothers, so she curls up under her baby's incubator.

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!
