Yesterday, Saturday, was a good day. I got to use my newborn nursing skills and do discharge teaching for a mom and baby that we did an emergency c-section for a few nights ago. I hate to admit it but I didn’t get to the birth, there were several others there that were qualified. That [...]

For the most part a good day!
Today was a pretty good day. I got up and I know this will sound vain but my hair was actually a little straight and not completely out of control. I felt like I was kind of normal again. Since my hair was fair, I thought why not put on a little eyeliner and mascara. [...]

Smile is worth a thousand words.
Today we had a good day but worked late. I got to see my friend Leonard this morning. It was so good to see him. I haven’t been in touch with him since the earthquake. His smile is amazing. We got a new group of medical staff in today. So it is a transition for [...]

Not much to say
I’m sure that I could write for hours but today I just want to say “Hi” and that I am doing pretty well. Busy day at the clinic with 3 transfers to the University of Miami hospital at the airport. Slept well. I am tired as are all my friends. We need to press on [...]

Thank you (from Andy)
A great big giant THANK YOU to everyone who came to the fundraiser last night and showed their support for Haiti, and Joanna! It was an incredible evening filled with a spirit of hope, love and joy that infused every-thing and every-one. So far there have been over $21,000 in donations and there is another [...]

Comfort ship
Today as you know started out a little wild. All of us lucky enough to stay at the Livesay’s quickly met in the driveway just a bit before six. Just another quake. I am really getting sick of the aftershocks. Just when I am starting to feel pretty strong and confident, it sets me back. [...]
