Haiti Update...

It is 1:30am on Thursday, local time...

To say that these past few days have been an experience, is to utterly understate the idea! There is so much that needs to be done, yet we have very limited resources. We are trying to do what can be done with what we have.

Everyone on our team has gone above and beyond... Dr. Jeff Daniels has assumed the role of Chief Medical Officer for the entire camp, the other Physicians have pulled together and helped organize systems and supplies (while still providing the care they came to provide), the Nurse Practitioners, the Nurses are working outside of their "comfort" zones in areas they normally do not, the Respiratory Therapist (great job on the "battle-field CPAP!"), the Social workers, Jarret and Dr. Reber! Kudos to each and every one of you! From what I have seen and heard, words can not even begin to describe the experiences each and every one of us has had!

Since we have had limited internet access, we are planning on uploading as many pictures as possible when we get back. It will start on Saturday/Sunday when we return to Miami. It will continue for a few days as we try to consolidate as many pictures as possible. Some of our team will begin to blog when they get back to tell their stories and express their feelings.

We wish to thank everyone that has supported this effort... family, friends, co-workers, employers... By supporting us and allowing us to be here, you have contributed to this effort as well! So we thank you, and there are quite a few Haitians that would thank you as well, if they could!
