May 5.
First let's begin with good news. Our two housecalls from yesterday are doing quite well. In the clinic today Jean and I debrided a severly infected thumb on an elderly, wheel-chair-bound woman. The skin was sloughing and once we opened the wounds more, we discovered maggots were infesting the site. We had only toradol for pain to offer the woman. She was an awesome patient as we vigorously scrubbed and scrubbed. We also treated her with injected and oral antibiotics. She was instructed return to the clinic tomorrow. In the afternoon we played games with children in a nearby neighborhood. We enjoyed Haitian versions of hide and seek, duck duck goose, London bridge, and red light green light. We also showed the children our conga line and the Macarena. They and we had a blast. There was also a soccer game being played in the background. A very good day. We are all looking forward to going home tomorrow.
