I had a crazy day on Wednesday (Sept. 11th). You probably
are asking yourself if this person in this picture is alive or not! Yes
that was the exact thoughts I got when I saw this person. Men! We met
this person being carried by about 8 people on top of
two bags...down a steep hill. He was in a tractor accident where the
breaks were not working and the driver not this man was trying to gear
down but that did not work. The tractor was overloaded with potatoes and
so the tractor overturned because the driver went in the bank to slow
it down from the acceleration of the steep hill. The trailer hit the man
and crushed the back of his skull and the neck. So I stopped and helped
the Good Samaritan take this man to the local dispensary for medical
help... They said he was in too critical condition and they did not have
the supplies needed. So we took him in a very fast truck ride to the
hospital in Eldoret about an hour away where the man who was hurt had to
lie flat in the back of the truck with some cushioning and blankets and
men around him to keep him in place on these crazy bumpy roads! I was
driving about 100 mph or over through crazy traffic. Thank God it took
us about an hour to get him to a bigger hospital in Eldoret. There are
no ambulance here in Kenya to help during emergencies. I am so thankful
to have a truck here to help others during such cases as much as we can.
I don't know this person and I may not even meet him again but I pray
that he made it. I prayed for him before we left the dispensary . God
did miracles as by the time we arrived in Eldoret he was not unconscious
anymore. He was already talking. God is good. Please I don't know how
he is doing at this point but I wanted to share with you so you can keep
him in your prayers.
Waiting at ER. It's crazy that you have to
wait or stand in line even during critical situation like this. Kenya
really need medical assistance in anyway possible.
