256 Days

A lot of things can happen during 256 days, but for what I'm speaking countless things have happened. Two Hundred Fifty-Six days ago was our mass screening to kick off the Guinea Field Service.

It showed us the immense need of medical assistance that the people here need. Today we will perform our last surgery for the 2012 - 2013 Field Service. The Eye team has removed it's last cataract, the Dental Team will help their last patients today. Next Friday as the day-workers work their last day the hospital will close and things will really wind down as we pack up everything to sail to our maintenance period.

Please keep the final patients in your prayers to that we can send them home next week. All patients that aren't cleared to go home must go to local hospitals till their wounds close and they are healthy.

Next blog I hope to share with you more of what's been going on the last few weeks.
