HAITI IS NEXT

I've been invited to join Grace4Haiti so am going to hear Dr. Gardy speak today in Lincoln.  He's a physician in Haiti who, I believe, more or less grew up at the mission and was helped and encouraged to go to medical school by the missionaries.  In the mean time, John has been collecting things for our upcoming trips.  He can fix about anything, but it didn't work out to fix up an old cautery unit so I guess we'll trash it.  He got a fairly decent, if old, autoclave and the Kiwanis donated a very nice carrying case for it.  He has also patched together 2 (not 1) operating microscopes that can travel and clamp to a table or the OR bed. It also fits in a case for travel.  Right now all our various extra mission supplies are stored in our garage with the plan to inventory and organize so we know what we have.  I'll post a picture of John with the autoclave in it's new case.  NN
