Trip Update

It looks like we are all set up for the trip. We are leaving Tuesday evening ,flying into Santa Domingo where we arrive at 12am. We are going to stay in a hotel and head for the hospital early in the morning( which is 5 hours from the airport). My companions are my wife Gina who is a Nurse Practitioner and Erinn Morr who is a Pediactric ICU nurse. We will be helping out in a small hospital on the Haitian/Dominican Republic border in a town called Jimani, the hospital is The Good Samaritan. Everyone has been so wonderful and supportive of our trip. Hospitals have donated supplies and our patients were very understanding about rescheduling their surgeries so I can take the time to help in Haiti. We are looking forward to helping but also know that we will be working hard in difficult conditions. We are prepared with our sleeping bags and power bars, not knowing if we will have beds or if the food will be safe to eat.
