During todays medical clinic, Carolyn gives aid to a young child.
Dave is cleaning out a cut that a young boy had while his dad watches on.
Dr. Todd and Carolyn gave medications to many that other wise would not have recieved any treatment.
For those who could not come to the clinic, we went to them. Dave here is starting an IV on a person who was too weak to move. He was suffering from severe dehydration and possible heart problem. He had not left his tent for 4 days after having severe chest pain while working and collapsing. He was carried to his tent and was being tended to by his wife. His family watched as Dave treated him. 
While going to those who could not make it to the clinic we found a "tent city" of about 200. Since the earthquake they had recieved no help. We were able to provide some medical aid and food. We plan to go again tomorrow to give more aid.As I write this I think of the gentleman that you see me starting an IV on. Normally I have the benefit of an EKG, drugs and means of transportation. Cardiac call in Haiti? Here we have an IV and aspirin, and I'm hoping tomorrow we can get transportation to a hospital. Our faith brought us here to Haiti, your prayers give us strength, and through it all the Haitian people continue to move forward. God bless you and thank you.

The Haitian people may continue to move forward because sometimes there is no other way. Sometimes we simply have to put one foot in front of the other and just push on. Please know that with every person you reach out to, with every meal you distribute, with every cut you clean and bandage, you are helping them to move forward. Thank you all.

UPDATE on the Cardiac Patient. This morning we were able to get him to a hospital. His condition had improved over the night and he was physically a lot stronger. The field hospital we went to was located at the airport and being ran by the University of Miami. They stated even though they would not be able to run all the tests you would in the state they had the medication he would need and got him a bed in their facility. Dave

ReplyDeleteMy faith has been elevated as I watch you guys work. From a chaplet inspired by Sis. Faustina comes these words:
ReplyDeleteHoly God; Holy Mighty One; Holy Immortal One: Have mercy on us .... and the whole world.
I thank God that God you are doing not just a work of mercy but of love, kindness and unselfishness.
Great job Team 1 our prayers are with you in all the amazing things you are doing.
