From Rose...we finished at the Centro de Salud in Ciudad Dario - our second bag containing medicine finally arrived - minus the vitamins. For some reason vitamins are suspicious and were taken to be analyzed. Joanne and Richard ended the day with a presentation on Neonatal resuscitation. It was well received - and while we were in the class a baby was born around the corner - barely five pounds, a girl. Vigorous and beautiful, as all new borns are. After the birth mother and baby share the recovery room with whomever is in need of a bed. This afternoon they shared it with a woman having an asthmatic attack. The clinic could use another room. Again a picture would tell the story.
We had a final meeting with the medical director and said our goodbyes. The team moves back to the hospital for next week.
Rachel, Salina and Kari left this afternoon for Chinandega and the Pacific. The rest of us are staying behind to enjoy a rotary meeting and another meeting tomorrow in Managua. I guess the girls were not that interested in this. We will join up with them on Saturday eve and drive them back here on Sunday. I am looking forward to the ocean and maybe a shell or two.
We say goodbye to Brad and Joanne tomorrow too! They will be headed home for a firefighters convention. Our group will really miss our Driver/navigator/and colleagues!!
