Parents safe arrival at Double Harvest.

My parents were able to get in to Haiti today from the Dominican.  They arrived at Double Harvest Haiti this morning. Below is an update from my Uncle Nick (who is currently there also)

Today went well. Maryke and Willem (my parents) arrived with some

goodies for us. The docs were able to do surgery to a lady who refused

for three days.  A little boy who was feared to die due to head injury and leg and arm

breaks is getting much better to the point that one of the doctors cried

for joy! Discharging patients went better as we had to hire taxis to take

them home that many times doesn’t exist hoping that family or friends will

care for them. The future is wound care and follow up which lasts for

months as amputees can have on going issues. The teams are transitioning

to another team tomorrow so they know about each patient care needs.

I am going home tomorrow so this is my last update. Tonite we had our last

meeting with this group of wonderful generous kind hard working strangers

that with Gods help were able to make a difference to several hundred

people. What an experience.
