Monday 2-22-2010


I visited with Scott Boettcher tonight by skpe, I am still amazed that the technology exists to do audo/visual over the internet from such a remote place like we are in.


Today was our first official day of scheduled surgery, about 11 cases in the OR, and Dr. Diedrichsen had many skin lesions in a minor procedure room.


We are having fading memories of snow and cold, with each day being upper 80's with about that much humidity.


Other team members will be blogging later, limited time right now as we are all just getting back from the hospital (8:00pm or so).


Later


John

Hi! Team! You really look hot and sweaty but it seems like you are accomplishing so much in the time you are there. I'm sure you all worn out working so hard but its so inspiring to think what you are doing to help these poverty stricken people. The pictures of the children are so cute! And I would like to see more pics of what the hospital looks like in the OR and Minor Surgery rooms. So interesting! We are checking every day! And the cleaning is going well! Your week will go fast I'm sure! Prayers and well being are wished for you all. Linda W.

John, do they have you cranking a hand-powered generator all day? Poor guy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Enjoy the heat and humidity (if that is even possible) as it is supposed to get below zero in Columbus tomorrow night. Pleasant dreams!
