February 22
Today we went to the clinic and we saw and treated about 220 people. It was controlled chaos at times, but it was a great day. Who would have thought that I'd come to Haiti to be a phamasist. That's where I spent most of the day, dispensing medicine and running urine and pregnacy tests. I got to hold a baby as her mother left the clinic to go produce a urine sample for me. She was so precious, loved being able to hold her. We also saw some children who were so sick that they would have died within 24 hours had they not recieved medical attention. One little boy was in such a dehydrated state that he needed an iv immediately. I helped find a vein and then held him while the iv was started. It was so rewarding to see him standing next to his father later that day as he couldn't even open his mouth a few hours earlier.
