February 26

Today was a full, successful day.

We did another 22 surgical cases:  Several burn and scar revisions, some simple cases, cleft lip and palates, and two complex pediatric surgical cases where the child had an abnormality of the GI tract.  The place was definitely bustling!  The nursing students were quite helpful especially in preop and recovery room.  We had chicken soup and batter dipped potatoes for lunch, and rice, veggies, chicken and lentils with spicy sauces for dinner.  Marc kept busy fixing electrical equipment and outlets and doing computer work and being a “runner”.  Liz was in her corner in her operating room keeping an eye on the surgeons, the patients and the rest of the world.

Tomorrow will bring its own challenges!
