Visiting the Tay Family




On Monday morning, Susan, Erin and I went to visit the Tay family. Baby James Benedict (affectionately known as JB) was my first delivery. Eljoy and Jackson Tay live about 40 minutes out of the city, in a community called Tibungco. In order to find their house, we did a lot of asking and wandering. But when we found them, they were so happy to see us. Normally, women and their babies come back to the clinic 5 times for baby checkups. But Eljoy told us she didn't have the money to come back and forth that often, but was planning on coming for the 3-week checkup. Which means I get to see her and JB again next week. I did the checkup, and everything was fine and normal, except that JB is quite jaundiced, but a few sunbaths and he'll be alright. We had a great morning with them!
