Rained all night and didn’t clear this morning as it has before. Steady drizzle. Canceled Strike Team today due to the rain, and everyone worked here in the clinic. NYC medics left today, and new people are trickling in. Two new nurses from Vermont. Bio-surveillance officer Jim Wilson who works for/runs a non-profit company called Praecipio (warning)… http://haitirewired.wired.com/profiles/blogs/haiti-epidemic-advisory-system He is here to evaluate the actuality and potential for infectious disease. It’s rather interesting that Rick and I have been saying all week that what we are doing is rather unimportant compared to the Public Health prevention aspects.
Another baby today, didn’t do so well. Full term but came out not breathing and had to be resuscitated. We were unable to intubate her and the weather was too bad to fly. Rick went with her in the back of an Army ambulance. She is now intubated and in an incubator at the UM Hospital. Doing well.
Nothing dries out, mud everywhere, can't imagine living here under a sheet and 4 sticks.

Thank you from the depths of our hearts here in Alaska, for sharing with us. Thank you for giving of yourselves where some of us cannot. Thank you for taking the time to enlarge our hearts. You are very much in our thoughts and prayers. Raymond and Linda Block in the cold north
ReplyDeleteIt means so much to us that you are there, Linda said it so well, and I don't want to repeat. I feel the same.
ReplyDeletePlease tell people in Haiti we think of them every day. I don't know how to let our friends there know how much they helped us spiritually, and how their experience changed many lives. We are thankful to all those there who are faithful and are a help to others all around the world. Please send our love to them.
