• Monteagudo, Bolivia •
This is where tuberculosis patients, including little Luis’ father, were kept, quarantined away from other patients. It is quite different from the standard isolation facilities seen at most hospitals today, but this is all they had, and they made the most of it.
Outside is where little Luis played while visiting the hospital.
And Puppydoc did end up getting latent TB after caring for the patients, but she took medicine and is now all better.

Phoebe, you are an amazing human being, to place yourself in danger this way to help others. I am so glad that you were able to be treated and are now TB-free. I admire you so much!
Oh Timi, you are so kind. I hope you are feeling well! Have a wonderful holiday. 🙂
So glad you are all better so you can recount these great moments!
Me too…it definitely was an unforgettable experience! 🙂
Powerful compassion.

So glad you were able to take meds and take care of your latent TB……I know your loving touch helped those patients more than you can imagine.
Hugs, Pam
Thank you, Pam. It was a sobering experience caring for these patients as they were sort of shunned by others, so that’s why I volunteered to work with them. I hope you are well, Pam. Big hugs!
I am well Phoebe……usual aches and pains and my heart aches of course for Sammy but other than that I’m GOOD thank you! <3
BIG HUG!!
God bless.
❤️ ❤️
