Delivery in the Hospital of San Felix


Yesterday was one of the most fabulous days in Panama thus far. I was able to witness my first delivery ever!! It was absolutely incredible to see the beginning of a new life. there were some complications along the way, once the baby entered the birthing canal it was evident that the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. This was a very scary time and it was wonderful to see that the doctor was able to clamp off the umbilical cord and cut it; and be able to hear the cry of a newborn child. Seeing this first hand had been an experience I did not expect. Incredible .. Now in boquete I am really looking forward towards the activities this weekend.
