Chuck sent me pictures of crocus from the backyard so I don't feel guilty posting pictures of "my office". The first picture is my little space in our clinic- the second is the view. Just in case anybody was feeling sorry for me...........looking out at the Caribbean as you work certainly makes life easier.
Life here is actually slow. Steady stream of patients but truly not overwhelming. I'm getting pretty good at figuring out malaria. I had a young man in today-- he is working for one of the many NGO-funded projects, this one cleaning rubble off of the roads. He stopped by our clinic because he was out front lifting cement. He had a 105 fever and malaria -- and was working! Michael's age -- which is just amazing to me to try and fathom the uncountable number of ways in which their lives differ.
Too tired to write too much tonight-- but I'll close with today's beautiful Haitian child. The first ruly fat baby I've seen! She was gorgeous!
Bon nuit, everyone! I am so grateful for the notes, emails, support. Merci!
Love,
Laurie
