Day 2 Haiti
Physical therapy is in great demand as many patients are getting stiff and weak from laying in the tents without assistance. Infection is still a major concern on all surgical sites. The number of surgeries has declined somewhat as fewer patients come in from Port Au Prince. For many patients, the hospital is there only home and there is no where else to go, so some are unwilling to leave to make room for more patients who are in more need. It is heartbreaking to witness but this is how things are in Haiti.

Amazing updates, Roger. Please keep 'em coming. I wonder if the patients are unaware of next steps for housing or if fear is keeping them in their hospitals?
