Mom who kissed me after child's surgery


Today was our last full day. I was at Black Lion with ENT and general surgery. I took care of a young child who had swallowed a coin. This is a common problem in the US as well as Ethiopia. The mother was so happy when we brought the child back out of the OR that she kissed me and the surgeon! That doesn't happen too often at home!

The rest of the team was at Cure for ear surgery and the school for the deaf. About 17 of us had dinner tonight in an Italian restaurant in the hotel. It was our team plus others working with us or that we have met during the week.

Tomorrow we are working until about 2, then hopefully have a little time to relax and pack before leaving for the airport at 9 pm.

It has been a long, full week, but in some ways seems like we just got here.
