iTeam Haiti - Coming Away

FoH,

After closing the clinic and withdrawing from the OR, various chats, cards, strolls took place. The first group leaving the mission consisted of 25, with 14 of those going on to Fort Lauderdale this afternoon. The 25 arrived at the PdP airport and 18 took the first flight out. That flight has arrived and 7 more will be to PaP soon.

Unless other communications are needed, this may be the final posting to this distribution group.

The ending numbers were 891 patients seen, 150 surgical procedures and dozens of laser treatments performed.

As is too often true, we left some untreated for apparent optical cancer and infection that likely will end earthly life. Two toddlers fit this category. The medical team consulted extensively to arrive at the conclusion of what limited care could be given. Always a harsh disappointment.

To God be the glory for any good the iTeam has done.
