Thank you all as you keep Mercy Ship in your thoughts. All screenings have continued on hold. Investigation continues in sorting out what exactly occurred Monday causing the difficulties in the crowds that they have never experienced before having done numerous large screenings in many locations.
Most of those injured have been discharged to home. Three remain hospitalized. I did go visit two men, that I assisted caring for, in the hospital yesterday. Mercy Ship is paying for the treatment of all those injured and all have been given appointments to receive further treatment that they were seeking in attending the screening.
The last couple days on the ship have been continued preparation for the hospital to open on Sunday. Tomorrow I will begin orientation to the paperwork, policies, documentation, and equipment in the wards here on the ship. This will extend into Friday. Sunday there will patients admitted for preop preparations with surgery on Monday.
I have been a bit home sick the last couple days... It seems familiarity is something our hearts can long for and when we have it we then hunger for change... I am again thankful for a few kindred friends with whom I shared some silly laughs and giggles with today... a helpful coping mechanism for us all.
Much love.
