Countdown


What a busy week this has been!! We are four weeks away from leaving, and it seems there is still alot to do. As a team we are responsible for getting and bringing ALL medicines and supplies. As you can see from the picture in the previous post, it's been a success. My office looks like a warehouse threw up in it. Seriously. :o) But it's all good. Keeping track of everything is a whole different issue. I finally came up with a list of what is needed, what we've acquired thus far, and what is still needed. I spent oodles of time working on it only to have the stinkin program screw up and mix up ALL the numbers in the "Quantity" column. So instead of having 600 4x4's, it said I had 600 catheters. Nice. I could have been the poster child for anger management during the "recount" of everything.

Last week a hospital in another town called me and said they put together a box of "stuff' for me. It was awesome. A huge box of wound care supplies and dressings...good stuff!! And all of it we'll use I'm sure.

Anxiousness and excitement of what is to come is setting in as we take this journey and make our way to the Toul Serey Orphan Home. :o) Have a great weekend!!! ~M
