I arrived safely in Port Au Prince on Saturday. Today is day five of the trip and so far things are going great! After all of the planning and prep work, I'm happy to finally be down here. I've been blown away by all of the progress they've made in Pediatrics since my last visit in March. I've kept busy seeing pediatric patients that come in to triage or the ED, although today I enjoyed some down time on my scheduled day off for the week. It's weird to have a day off down here but I've realized I definitely need to enjoy the down time when it comes, because things can get hectic pretty quickly. It's also nice to have the opportunity to leave the hospital every once in awhile, so I don't go stir crazy. I have no doubt that coming down here was the right decision. I'm already wondering if I'll be ready to come home after two months!
