Today even more people showed up! Turns out Gracie and her prostheses were on the front cover of the Ghana Times. I feel like the people and the molds are multiplying!
Took 2 more casts today - both transtibial. One was an 11 year old boy who lost his leg when he fell off a "play" train that was in the playground. I guess its a real train in a public park! His leg was amputated 4 years ago and this will be his first prosthesis.
Then I got to work with the modifying. Did all 3 transtibials from yesterday and 2 transfemoral. And we had to re-laminate Rejoice's leg =(. The lamination did not set up on the inside. Chubby (the head tech there and workforce of the Ghana team) tells me that the hardener we used is 4 years old. Might have something to do with it.
But to sum up - today I took 2 molds, modified 4 (including one AK) and did a lamination. Quite a days work. Everything has been moving so fast! I know (and my co-workers can attest) I do not have the skills to work this fast and (hopefully). Truly I believe that it is the power of the Holy Spirit. I am the hands of Christ. He works through me.
