I recently managed to see the old man who had the head injury whom I flew from his village to a nearby hospital. The hospital I took him to, Haydom Lutheran Hospital, is still pretty remote and a good eight hour drive from Arusha. It is pretty well equipped for a remote hospital due to many years of input from the Norwegian Lutheran Mission, for that reason the missionary doctor from the mission hospital near Pauli's village suggested that I take him to Haydom. He was able to get a CT scan and was stabilized but in the end surgery was still required to remove the pressure from his head.
MAF serves Haydom on a regular basis and we also fly monthly mobile clinics for them. However, I do not always get to spend much time there. A couple of weeks ago I flew a group of biological researchers in and waited to fly them out later that day. So, I asked around and manged to find Pauli in the surgery recovery ward. I could not communicate with him, but the doctors say that he is making a good recovery.
Please continue to pray for him and also his family member who has to take care of him while they are far away from their home village
