Monday in Haiti

Monday in Haiti February 7, 2011.

Not sure what time we woke up this morning but it was early. As most know I am not an early riser. I like to stay up late and get up late. However, this time in Haiti has taught me to go to bed early and get up early! Definitely not what I am use to!!!

This morning I was wondering if I was going to be useful here because I am not medically trained. So, I started out in the pharmacy and I began sorting and putting away different medications we brought. When I was done with that, I walked over to the clinic and basically asked where they needed me. So, Kelly showed me how to use the sterilization machine, so I began sterilizing instruments. It was an interesting experience, some came in with blood still on them and other matter. So, after several hours of sterilizing tools, I asked to watch a surgery. I got to watch Dr. Cotton remove scar tissue from a wrist and do a skin graph. Also, I got to watch Dr. Sheryl deliver twins with the help of a midwife. WOW!! I also got to hold baby number one while baby number two was coming into the world butt up! Both babies were beautiful 8lbs girls!

After the baby delivery I went to fill up my water bottle and was coming down the stairs when I saw Tony playing with some kids. Of course I had to stop and play too! We ended up going behind the compound so we could play some basketball. Can I just tell you I have mad skills!

So, now we had dinner (chicken, rice, blood soup, beans, and bread). And I have some tools I need to get sterilized before I head to bed, so I am off to do that!

God is good ALL the time, ALL the time God is good!!!!!
