On Sunday morning fifteen team members arrived on two different flights at the newly remodeled Port-au-Prince airport. We loaded our luggage into the blue van and boarded a big rented bus for the ride to the HHH compound. The scene en route varies from total devastation to business as usual. It is really mixed. Many people selling their wares on the street in front of a collapsed building. Rubble everywhere on the side of the road. Many, many tent cities, some as many as 50,000 people in them. We arrived and started unpacking the suitcases as Vicki, Eve and Terri left for Jacmel at 11 am. They loaded up some supplies they wanted to take as they are working for the week in a rehab clinic there. Scott, Matt, Jan B. and Samantha left later in the afternoon for Les Cayes to work in the prosthetic shop there. Scott and Matt will be doing prosthetics and Jan will be doing the gait training. Samantha is a reporter from St. George who is along to document the week. We were fortunate to meet with 2 PTs and an OT departing Haiti for a tour and introduction of where we will be working for the next two weeks. Haitian Community Hospital is an inpatient hospital that has a new therapy area on the patio that has been staffed by Global Village Therapy. They have a lot of supplies and we were introduced to a few patients and staff in the hospital. There are a lot of boys who hang out around the hospital that we have had a chance to have some fun with. The rest of us settled into our rooms and started getting to know each other. We packed vitamins into baggies and organized the orthotic, medical, clothing, and personal supplies everyone had brought from home in giant duffles and suitcases. Jane needed to return home and went on the plane the following morning headed back to Salt Lake. We will miss you Jane. The rest of us - Gail, Chris, Suzan, Kathy, Melanie, Alex and Jan went to the Haitian Community Hospital. Three OT's to start with -- how unusual! The therapists started right to work seeing outpatients who were lining up. They also treated several inpatients. They saw about 15 patients during the day of all ages and with all kinds of disabling conditions. We were working with Allison, a PT from another volunteer agency. We don't know if/when we will see her the rest of the week. Gail, Chris and Jan set up down the road in the outpatient medical clinic area. Lots of moms and kids were waiting on folding chairs outdoors in the shade to see us. We worked in the administration area using a desk and filing cabinet to unload all of our pharmacy supplies. Another desk and chair served as patient treatment area. Gail and Chris saw 20+ pediatric patients, many babies who are malnourished and developmentally delayed. Lots of scabies and stomach aches, a few fevers and a tiny 5 day old premie that weighed maybe 2 pounds. His twin had died after birth and his mother was injured her leg somehow in the earthquake. Dad brought the baby to be seen. He was so tiny. On Tuesday five more team members arrived - Linnea and Egan, Stacie, Jennie and Debra. We took them to the guesthouse and unpacked and then they headed up to the hospital to work the rest of the afternoon. The nurses joined with Gail and Chris and Linnea and Egan joined the therapists. The medical team saw 40+ patients today but the therapists weren't as busy as they were yesterday, yet each patient provided new challenges to our creativity with limited supplies and stimulated a lot of team interaction. Jan went with Al Ingersoll to the Healing Hands For Haiti/Handicap International prosthetic lab to deliver some supplies and see the new space. It was good to see Edylene and Fritz again. They are very well equipped and have fit more than 200 patients with prosthetics and over 100 orthotics the last 3 months. Dinner in the guesthouse was wonderful as usual and afterwards we again had a "pill party" - putting vitamins and tums into baggies in preparation for distribution to patients at the clinic the rest of the week. To say we have had hot and fun days might be understated!
