We had a good day in the PT tent: ) We decorated the tent for Junior’s birthday with balloons that read “Approved,” “Happy Anniversary,” and “Now Leasing!” and a giant paper chain (I thought we’d get more bids on the property: ( ) He was very appreciative and wore the yellow, paper crown with pride. Most of the patients were understanding about their therapy being put on hold for a short period…except for Rene Charles, who asked me if we could just come to his house later. I now have about 20 pictures of Malachie in various karate poses…and the inside of his mouth, his feet, random half-body shots (that is what happens when my camera gets away from me.) As I see it, they are all beautiful pictures! And they are all beautiful people! More to come : )

Another great day in Haiti! Though it’s sweltering in the PT tent the breeze has been helping out a lot. Many of the patients are making great progress and most all of them remain amazingly upbeat. Josh brought prints of pictures he and Betsy had taken and they were a great hit among the patients. The smiles were huge as they recognized each other and pointed out themselves and others that they recognized. Great fun in the PT tent!!

This week we are continuing to send patients to follow-up appointments with the ortho docs in Port-au-Prince to try and make the most of the docs’ stay. Our system is working well as each patient returns with a note from the doctor detailing their new plan of care. Monday was a big day for our patient Richard as he walked with Sarah, PT, and no assistive device for the first time in a long time! We are all happy and healthy
