After helping with the first two patients\u2019 prosthetics we decided to create a short exercise program (see picture at right) because there is no physical therapist that helps train these patients how to walk with their new limbs.<br \/>\nAfter lunch, there was a bit of a stand still because there is a box of supplies in a nearby town that will arrive \u201ctomorrow\u201d (aka not today). It\u2019s been tomorrow the past three days.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ghana14.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Ghana14.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/class=\"img-right\">We decided to teach two of the patients waiting for their new legs how to play Uno. They caught on quickly and beat us the second game.<br \/>\nLater on in the afternoon, Hannah helped one the Ghanian prothetists with making a new leg and Mollie and I helped another patient improve his walking. (see the pictures below)<br \/>\nOverall it was a very good day at Standing With Hope and we are looking forward to another day of work tomorrow!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ghana16.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Ghana16.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" \/>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ghana15.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Ghana15.jpg\" width=\"221\" height=\"128\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2011 Mission to Ghana from Sarahann Callaway We spent the day working at Ghana Health Services helping Standing With Hope.
