Encounter with a Haitian orphan; More skin grafts

Today I met a 2 year old Haitian boy who was found sleeping in a garbage dump. He was brought to the hospital for an evaluation and is doing remarkably well. The best however, is that one of the relief workers is in the process of trying to adopt him.

Today our team was busy in the adult and children’s wound care clinics. Several patients were evaluated for skin grafting and repair of fractures. We also had another full OR day. We have met some great people from around the country who are truly dedicated to helping the Haitain people.

Tonight we are on for a treat as the UN is scheduled to come to our compound for a cookout. We are all looking forward to this. Until tomorrow…
