Friday morning

Foggy and drippy this morning.  Looks like more rain will come this morning.  Yesterday Rich did thyroid cases as well as some other things while Mark did more hernia repairs.  We had a wonderful meal waiting for us when we returned in the evening.  It was a shrimp main dish with veggies.  Wed. night we could have either lobster or shrimp kabobs.  I think we have told everyone how well fed we are here!  The seafood here is fresh and delicious to say the least.  Today promises to be a busy day for ENT.  Mark has a couple cases and then leaves to return to Montana.
It sounds like the hospitals situation has deteriorated since last year.  Suzie says it is in the worst shape she has seen it since coming here years ago.  Equipment that breaks is not being replaced, gowns and drapes used in surgery are basically tattered rags, and the nurses continue to struggle without even the basics to do their jobs.  You can not even imagine what it is like unless you see it for yourself.
Thank you again to everyone who is following our mission and for your continued prayers.   Carolyn
