Help us Restock our Delivery Room!
These photos are kind of funny I know, but the reality is that we are running low on all sorts of things at our clinic.

Summer Days, Musings and Filipino Independence Day
I admit that these HOT summer days have drained all of my energy and drive to get things done.

Our clinic in Bugnay has been renovated and re-inspected and re-opened!
