The Day Has Come!

After several months of planning and preparation, it's finally time to go!  I'll be heading down to Miami tomorrow evening and catching my flight to Port Au Prince first thing Saturday morning.  Right now I'm just excited to get back to Haiti.  Although this is my fourth trip with Project Medishare, it's also my first time going by myself without any other volunteers from my hospital.  It will also be the first time that I'll be the only pediatric provider there for the week.  As a nurse practitioner who's been in practice for less than a year...that's kind of scary!  I've been doing my best to get prepared but it's still pretty overwhelming thinking that I'll be in charge of managing the care of all of those kids.  Luckily I'll have backup from the awesome ER team that is coming from Minnesota.  I honestly don't think I'd be going on this trip if it weren't for the MN crew, they're awesome!  Thanks again to all my family and friends for making this trip possible.  I'll definitely appreciate all of your prayers next week! I certainly can't do this on my own!  I'll do my best to keep the blog updated while I'm gone, next update will be coming at you from Port Au Prince :)
