Jan. 30th Update from Dr. Guerry
This is Dr. Guerry’s Update to Dr. Bob – just received this morning…….
I’m so happy today to find this opportunity to write to you. God bless you for everything. I think that my work is about to be done. About 14 nights without sleeping trying to keep our patients on good care as soon as it was possible.
General Hospital, as Vanessa suggested me, was the best place for me to work, even though the first time it was a little bit desorganized because of many different medical teams working in there. But it was the emergency of the time. Now each team has a tent on the responsibility of a medical supervisor. I’ve been with lots of teams trying to do my best to cover the most patients possible exclusively at night. Sometimes I enter at 5 pm (signing out time until 8 in the next morning). I always have a wrink of sleep in the back seat of a car. Some of my patients die ( about 7 of them), many amputated, homeless, large wounds and so forth. My emergency kit is over after giving away the last box of medication to a camping at Turgeau (Miss Manouchka is the reference).
I’ ll have time to make a complete report about the wonderful help that Missions of Love has been to Haiti just some days after the earthquake. We’ve done more than money can do just because of your prayers and your willingness to help our nation. I’ve been feeling bad, with an allergic conjonctivitis and my flu in the last two days. But nothing worse.
The power of the Lord was upon us and in your heart too. I’m sorry that I have to be back to the USA on Wednesday to continue with my procedure for my residency. I’ve bought the bus and the plane tickets. I must be in the DR on Monday. I don’t know how we can meet or will I have enough time to make my full report before I leave. I dont have a computer here. I still feel happy to be part of your blessing help toward Haiti. I’ll always be with no matter what it costs to help you fulfill all your plans for our nation.
I’ll try to give you a call before monday. I’ven’t been able to talk to Christoph and the others, but I hope that they are fine. Vanessa promised me the transportation to DR, if she doesn’t accomplish, I’ll let you know. God bless you!
Dr Guerry CENORD, helping you serve the poor and the sick in Haiti
