It is 1:45 am. We are at the airport getting ready to board our flight through Frankfurt to Philly. We are all exhausted. It has been a very busy week, but rewarding at the same time. Most of us spent the day at Cure hospital. We had a few equipment challenges, but we were able to provide much needed care for many patients.
We have all been asked when we are coming back. The needs for education and patient care are overwhelming. I can see some small improvement in certain areas since the last time we were here. The start of the Masters program for nurse anesthetists is by far the biggest potential for improvement that I have seen.
This whole experience has been extremely difficult work. When I was in Haiti, we said that we had never worked so hard and accomplished so little. This has been very similar.
I had difficulty posting pictures from Ethiopia, but I will post more from home. Thanks for reading about my adventures!

    Liz,

    It is difficult to put into a few words the many ways that you have demonstrated a commitment to patient care for those less fortunate then most Americans and others throughout the world.

    The recent events in Haiti have led many such as you to seek out ways to serve others in the wake of such a huge disaster. Your caring hands and heart full of love and compassion has benefited many people in need of your medical skills. It is caring people like you who volunteer their time and talent to help others in need that makes a huge difference in the world, especially those who come in contact with your healing hands.

    Welcome home and God bless you!

    Steve & Cheryl
