The Search for Pain Meds

Amy has been suffering terrible headaches from her brain tumor and she ran out of her pain pills from the States.  The director of one of the ministries we partner with in Peru was sure she had some pain meds in their warehouse.  The problem was that they were in a collection of over 100 boxes that each had to be gone through.  Ben and Paul went with Amy and me to try to dig through the boxes.  What a nice surprise when we were met by a team of about 10 missionaries and 10 Peruvians to help carry boxes and search through them!  It took just over an hour to go through them all.  We found some Tylenol 3's, which isn't as strong as we had hoped for, but they should help until we get something stronger.

Somewhere in there might be some pain meds!
