"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth." Psalms 139:15 The Miracle of Life                 October 16, 2015, the Solomon family welcomed their third child, Adrian Oliver Solomon, into the world. Now there is Darian who is 10 years old, Gillian 8, and baby Adrian. Derek and Soné, the mom and dad, were brave and decided to have their baby here in Bolivia instead of their own country, South Africa. It is cheaper and easier to have your baby here in Bolivia because all babies born here are automatically Bolivian citizens. No expensive visas and days standing in line for them! The second biggest blessing for me besides the fact that the pregnancy and delivery went well, was that Soné asked me to be a part of the pregnancy and delivery. I went with her to all the checkups and translated for her since she is still uncomfortable with Spanish. By watching, asking questions, and studying, I have been able learn more about all that happens during the pregnancy process.                 Then came the big day of delivery! I went with Soné, and was even allowed into the delivery room by the doctor. I just focused on Soné, giving her the encouragement and support she needed (they don't give any pain medication here) and let the doctor focus on her work. It was the first time I had seen a human birth. I have given birth, but didn't see much as I was too busy pushing!         As I was walking the halls of the clinic in scrubs and feeling pretty good and important, an idea was born in my head. We are moving up to northern Bolivia to try to start to help the people who live a very long ways into the jungle. Why can't we try to give a little of the help that is available to women here in Santa Cruz also to the pregnant women out there deep in the jungle? Last time I was out there in the deep jungle, a nurse had taken a Doppler to check the fetal heartbeats of the pregnant women we came across. It gave to women such peace to know that their baby's heart beat was good at least. It may have been the only checkup they would receive for their whole pregnancy. Some of the women at 20 years old had already buried 2 or 3 children. Is that necessary?         I am not a midwife, nor a nurse, but there is a big need for people who have such experience, or even just knowledge of how to get portable diagnostic equipment that can be transported out to the jungles in the plane. If pregnancy problems can be detected, the women can be taken out to help. If you have experience, information, or ideas, send me an email.  Our Own Family News We too have good news to share! God willing, in May we will also welcome a new baby into our family. So far I have had a good pregnancy, with some nausea, much exhaustion, and not many other complaints. I have had a very active 18 month old to keep me from having too much time to feel sorry for myself!
