Doctors And Haitians!

My dear ones,

     The last three days I have been able to work with a medical team; it has been a constant learning experience and I have loved it all! The team has been able to help so many people. The daily max has been 200 patients. There are tons of stories I would love to share, but due to time I will only share some of my favorites.
     First of the team has a portable ultrasound, which enables mothers are able to see their developing babies. The mothers have all been very excited about it. :) One ultrasound even confirmed a mother with twins!

 The lovely pharmacy!

     I'll share some other stories that are rather neat, not necessarily in a miraculous baby way, but miraculous in the fact that thirteen people have came to give their time and knowledge to voluntarily help others. Today a man suspected to have tuberculosis came in; his ribs were poking out and by a simple glance it was noticeable that he was in very bad health. He was addressed with great care and left after being treating for hours, which included an IV, food, water, and medication. There was also two babies that had fevers of 104 degrees! :( One of those poor infants was ten days old! The doctors did as much as they could with what they had; Bre gave the young girl a shot of Ceftriaxone, which is an antibiotic that takes care of many illnesses that could have been the cause of the poor child's fever.

     Among many other eventful hours those are the most memorable stories I want to share with you. After tonight we are headed to Arcahaie for a weekend away at another clinic. I will write once we get back.

Love you all greatly,
Crystal Joy
