I just listened to a voice message from Ann Giuli. Here is her story from yesterday:

"We had closed our clinic and went to visit another clinic. There, a mother came in with a 2 week old baby who was barely alive. The clinic said they do not deal with infants. Our Team took the mother and baby to another clinic, this one run by Fire Fighters for Christ from California. They took the two to the port and got the child to the hospital ship COMFORT. Ann believes the baby will live. Meanwhile, at the Fire Fighters clinic there was a girl being treated for a badly infected finger. Dr. Reed looked at the situation and said, "No, suturing is not going to help. We need to amputate the finger." At which point, he performed the amputation and bandaged the hand, free of deadly infection."
