Hello everyone!
Today
we had quite an eventful day at the maternity hospital, which also provides a
variety of other services, including an urgent care and a dentist office. We
arrived to the labor and delivery room just in time to see a birth. It was so
amazing! We had the privilege of standing right alongside the mother so she had
someone there to support her. The baby
was a perfect, healthy little angel. After this, we went into the post partum
room where mothers and their babies laid in beds that lined the wall of a one
big room. We were able to talk with some of these new moms and pray for their
newborns. We also got the opportunity to spend some time in the NICU (Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit). Lastly, we went to urgent care, where two nurses make the
most of one small room and very little supplies. Unfortunately, they were not
extremely busy while we were there. However, we did get to help bandage two
wounds and learn how the Haitians manage with such little supplies. Overall, it
was a very good day. Tonight we are preparing for our clinical tomorrow by separating
out Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and children’s vitamins into baggies. Thanks for
reading!
