Hailey:
This morning we went to the maternity hospital. Although since it is a
hospital, people go there for anything so there were a lot of wound care
patients as well that they saw. The hospital does a lot for these people; they
do free vaccinations for babies up to age 5, they do lab tests, ultrasounds,
prenatal care, nutrition education, family planning, and then obviously labor
and delivery. They also have a NICU for the little premies. Kayley and I got a
tour of the hospital and got to do a little bit of wound care. It was cool to
see an actual hospital funded by the government in Haiti. We also got to go THE
BEACH! It was beautiful, clear waters. This country has some hidden treasures
and the beach was breathtaking. It was a good ending to a wonderful experience
here. I just want to let everyone know how awesome Crystal is and what her
mission is doing down here. The world needs more people like her.
Kayley:
Today we got to see the maternity hospital! It was awesome to see how they have
things set up and the different types of care they offer. They have labor and
delivery, neonatal, lab, family planning, vaccinations, and some wound care
from the streets, pharmacy, dentist and an HIV clinic. Hailey was able to
assist another nursing student with a dressing change. There were not many moms
laboring today so there was nothing really going on there. It was so
interesting to be able to see the place and all that they offer as well. We
went back to the house to eat lunch and then it was time for the beach. This
was a nice break to have some time and relax. This was truly and eye opening
week and I am so blessed to be able to serve in this Beautiful country. I think
this night is bitter sweet for Hailey and I. We are excited to come back home
and see everyone we missed you, but we are also sad to leave the people we made
connections with this week. It was definitely a God filled and guided week, He
is doing wonderful things in this country and through this ministry. Our
journey in Haiti this week is over, but all of the mission work here still
continues and it is not always an easy thing. Please keep Hearts United with
Haiti, Crystal, Redgi, James, David and all other missionaries in your prayers!
Thank you! See you all soon! (Yes mom and dad we will call you at home or work
if you’re working when we are in the US again love you!)
