Hello all! Hard to believe it has been a week – both that it is just a week and also that it is already a week. Last night was truly sultry, but without the night shift everybody slept much better. Apparently the roosters and the dogs are either Jewish or Adventists because they seemed to take the night off. Read More
Good evening to all. Sorry for the lapse in communication – finally reset my phone and we are back online! Read More
For those keeping track, the roosters did crow but 25 minutes late…then all night. That was the least of our worries though.Just after midnight, we were treated to a real Haitian deluge…and it lasted all night. The kicker was that the weather joined us through an opening in the roof and flooded the 1st floor. Most of the night was spent keeping supplies and personal items on the 2nd floor dry AND listening to the *#!*ยค roosters! At least Oiz had a quiet night and a great day (he no longer seems like just a patient – we have all seemed to adopt him like a son). Read More
I know you are wondering…roosters did crow last night but they were late…10:55pm. Their internal clocks must have been off.
Anyway, as for today, we are really finding our stride it seems. Today had this odd feeling of routine and the mood subdued. We started clinic at 9am and saw about 160 today. We seem to have made fast friends with our translators and have become like well-oiled machines. We only hope we are really helping to ease their suffering. Sometimes it is difficult to tell, but we continue to forge ahead with hope and optimism. Read More
Good Evening All! In case you were wondering…yes the roosters did crow at 10:45 last night, right on schedule. Anyway, we had a great day. Clinic started at 9am with all translators in place and four providers seeing patients – only about 120 and we were done by about 11am. We are told this may be due to local holiday – will see what tomorrow brings. Read More
