Old friends

 Elson visited Dokte Cynthia yesterday.  Cynthia hosted Elson at her home in Maine while St Mary's Medical Center took care of his medical needs a few years back.  He's 100% recuperated and back with his family these days.

Claudette and Jonas who goes by the name "Bob-Joe", his artist name.  Most visitors know him as the bracelet boy.  He makes personalized bracelets for all our visitors as a gift and then takes orders.  Smart approach.  Jonas is also a graduate of Espwa.

Comings and goings

Photos of Dokte Cynthia and her husband, Bill.  They are here for a week.  Cynthia was showing Bill around the campus and they stopped in to say hello.  Did you notice that ESPWA was painted on the sides of the BUV?

Dokte Cynthia

Our Dokte Cynthia stayed home today and worked in the clinic as you can see above. The rest of team put in their final day at the General Hospital and will try and hop a flight out tomorrow. They have been a blessing to us and to many hurt Haitians. May God accompany them back to Maine. Bon voyage, nos amis.

Dr. Cynthia

While the ortho team worked in the operating room, Doc Cynthia was lending a hand in pediatrics. Here she is with a 21 day old twin who weighs half what the healthy one weighs. The twins were born in PaP and this one got sick a few days later. She has already started to respond to treatment.

Medical teams arrives

Our Doctor Cynthia and her medical team arrived from Nassau this afternoon. We went directly to Hopital Brenda and met with Dr. Robert Leger, a key player. We then went to the General Hospital and met with the Departmental Director of Health, Dr. Louissaint. Our team will be relieving the surgeons at the General starting tomorrow at 8:00 AM.
Dokte Cynthia was also able to bring us a stash of cash which was much needed. It is great to have the medical team with us. They'll be able to provide care for the victims of the earthquake and see our kids, too.
