Good evening. Hope everyone is well. A quick update on the long term volunteer that had a medical emergency yesterday. The volunteer was stabilized here in Gonaives last night. He was coherent this morning and then transported via helicopter to Port Au Prince this morning and was seen right away. His parents flew in this morning and he will be returning to the states to continue to find out the cause of the seizures. It was a scary event, but I feel confident that if there was an emergency I know it would be handled well. The HODR team (both staff and volunteers) did an excellent job. My thoughts are with Robert and his family.
Last night was the first night since I arrived that I actually slept all the way through the night. It was great! Today was a fairly mellow day for me. I volunteered to do house cleaning this morning which did not take the entire morning so there was a little time for reading and even a brief nap before lunch. After lunch I headed back out to the mud. The site I was at today was good - a nice path for the wheel barrow from the inside to the outside and to where the mud was dumped. The mud itself was a little sticky and therefore not as cooperative. It amazes me how many different types of mud there are.
Tonight I am going for an adventure with Nate. He is on a mission to get a haircut. This should be interesting..I am guessing most of the stylists here are not familiar with "blanc" hair. I will post details about it tomorrow. Have a great night!
