We got there and the doctor laid Joel down on the table cleaned him up, and said that'll be 20 soles. We also had to provide the supplies from their in house pharmacy. So we went bought the stiches the gloves and the needles brought them to the doctor and he stitched him right up. The entire emergency room visit took 20 minutes and cost us $12. Joel did great, he was a little nervous and wanted to see what the doctor was going to stick in his head, but we kept him from moving so he couldn't see the needles.
More good news, is that on Wednesday we finally got the official legal document declaring the Rojas Reyes abandoned. So if there's anyone out there that might want to adopt 5 kids aged 13, 11, 10, 8 and 6 let us know.

bless his heart. wow $12 but you had to bring your own supplies from the orphanage! thanks for the pics graphic and all.
No the supplies are included in that $12. We bought them from the pharmacy that is attached to the hospital.
Poor guy! At least that was the fastest emergency room experience I've ever heard of!
wow that's even more incredible that the $12 included the supplies.and like vanessa said it didn't take 6 hours of waiting.
Wow that is so crazy! Poor guy- what a birthday present. I can't believe it all happened so fast! I am very suprised considering how slow things move there. lol Glad it was fast though and cheap!Thanks for the pictures it makes me feel like I was right there with you guys :)
Did his head get numbed before the stitches? Gross photos!
ohhhhh Joel, that's crazy!!!
I am glad it was not more serious and that it did not cost too much! I miss that kid like nobody's business!! Like Aimee said, thanks for the pictures, it is good to see what is going on and not just hear it!
p.s. I want to adopt them!
Man if I could, I seriously would. I will keep my ears open though for people who are interested in adoptions. A lot of people from my church do.
