Day 6

Today was our last clinic day. We went back to Kaliko.  We didn't get started until about 10:30. Then finished up at 2:30.  I could really get used to this "island time".  The work day ends at 3:00pm!  

We did have to ride in a different canter bus which was completely closed in on the sides.  We felt like cattle packed in.  It was so hot.  It was also very uncomfortable on the way back to MOH because we all refused to pee in the bushes.  Nikki couldn't wait to finish backing up the truck to unload it. She jumped off and darted for the bathroom. She said the pain was worse than childbirth!  

We got to see a couple small babies today which were adorable!  Though one had a really bad cough, vomiting and diarrhea. He had a massive blow-out right when Nikki was about to examine him.  It was all over the rocks around her so she had to get water and wash them off. Ended up treating him for whooping cough. 

 Total we saw 55 patients today. Slow day but 5 accepted Christ! 

When we got back to the clinic we helped restock the bins for next week's clinics.  Then dropped Laura off at Madam Cheap-cheaps to get braids in her hair.  It's a booth set up on the MOH campus where you can buy souvenirs. 

 

Now we are sitting on the roof of the guesthouse enjoying a breeze.  

We will have a debrief tonight and then tomorrow we will go to Wahoo Bay beach resort.  I heard that they have a pool - cannot wait!

This little girl's grandmother works at the MOH clinic and she greets us every afternoon.  She immediately jumps in our arms and wants us to swing her around.

This is how hot it gets in Haiti- the medicine bottle melted!  

That's it for now. Goodnight from Haiti!
