Tuesday

I am about to hit the sack but wanted to put in a quick update. Today went well. Prudence had a VSD closed and is doing great. Already been sitting up in bed ad drinking. She has the sweetest disposition. 

They also did a cath procedure, Selly, who stayed with us for a few hours. During this the use a balloon inserted through the groin to open up a cake in the heart that has become narrowed. 

The second case, Emmanuel, had not come back from the OR when I left at 7. He was a yet repair and supposedly did well in the OR. He was so sweet before hand. Really serious but if you asked for a smile he was quick to give it. Hopefully he is up there doing well as I lay my tired head down. 

Being here is so refreshing and fun. Just getting to take care of patients in a pure fashion is enjoyable. And the teaching, though it is tiring is good too. I am always reminded when I get here how much it is we are trying to teach these nurses. At home they would get a 6 month training an here we are just doing it as we go! 

Okay more tomorrow and hopefully some photos.
