It is Me, from Haiti!!

Amazingly enough, the internet is working at the director of the orphanage's office.  This doesn't happen often.  Today was AWESOME!  We traveled through the most beautiful countryside with scenic mountains, palm trees, tiny shacks, pretty rivers and it was spectacular.  We took 300 Christmas shoeboxes to the sweet church in Cholera.  I missed the shoebox presentation due to medical clinic needs were overwhelming.  My first patient was a very lethargic, dehydrated old lady who I'm sure had pnuemonia too.  We saw about 50 patients in 3 hours(3 RNs and and audiologist).  We saw a young woman who I'm pretty darn sure had mono(classic symptoms just like Carter had last year).  The most heartbreaking was a 10month old twin baby who was a skeleton with a bloated belly.
