Saturday, November 1, 2024 Hello from Entebbe! This afternoon I will fly to Dubai, where I plan to spend a few days reuniting with friends, before flying home on the 6th. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were spent training. We had a couple of patients with dramatically low fluid. They were all treated at the birth center for dehydration with IV fluids and rescanned the following day. So many of the women that come in are dehydrated and have often been leaking fluid for quite some time before coming in for assessment. As I mentioned (ad nauseum), the women in Uganda do most of the labor of daily living, including carrying all of the water in large 20L jerry cans. As their pregnancy progresses, they are often exhausted and in physical pain, so they stop drinking water. Drinking less water means carrying less water. They also may be leaking fluid, but they may not have anyone to help take care of their other children, so they stay at home. 2 of the mothers had a mild increase in fluid aft
