Jose, our night guard here at Faith Home, had hernia surgery about two months ago and is having trouble recovering. He is 76 years old. He has not been able to work for past couple of weeks and we found out he now has pneumonia. Some of the house parents went to see him and found out he needed some medicine but the government facility didn't have it. Today we went with Miguel (one of the house parents) to Jose's house to see if we could help.
We found out he did have an antibiotic he was taking but needed some medicine for coughing. He has also lost a lot of weight over the past year. We went to the pharmacy and bought some stuff for a cough and nine cans of Ensure (the heavy duty kind) and took them to him. Cindy told him and his wife that he needed to drink three cans a day of the Ensure. Before we left he had already finished off one can and really seemed to like it. We will check on him in a couple of days.
