Update from Lorrie

Dear Everyone,
I will try and give you as much of an update as I have at this time.
Things change hourly and it is often hard to keep up.
As most of you know the Fargo team returned home on
Sunday and Dr Siri Fiebiger, president of the Promise for Haiti
board, hit the ground running.

The Board members, as well as the team leaders,
that are planning on going to Pignon this week, had
a conference call. Dr Fiebiger debriefed everyone on
what had taken place while they were in Pignon, during and
after the Earth Quake.

Siri informed everyone of the plans that
were worked on while in Pignon and were
being put into place to deal with what we can
only try to antcipate in the next couple days, weeks and months.

As of Tues morning ****
Two medical teams will
be going into Pignon this week

The Hospital have Ortho patients waiting for doctors.

CCH is sending 13 people, including
2 ortho surgeons,
2 anesthesia ,
several nurses,
PT
TV Crew

They are bringing as many supplies
as they can carry.
The Jacmel team is separate.

They have been asked to go to Cange too
and that WAS the plan for this Ortho team.
But because the Project Haiti team
will not be there until Sat
CCH will stay in Pignon
because of no surgeons in Pignon.

Project Haiti is going to
Pignon with a medical team on
Sat. They have Orthopaedic surgeons
Anesthesia, Plastic Surgeon,
General Surgeon and pediatrician.
The plastic surgeon general surgeon,
and anesthesiologist are planning to stay
long term – up to 2 months.
They are bringing in as many supplies as they
can along with food to help feed the team.

I am working with Mike Evens on a
program to allow Pignon to communicate with us
to let us know what their supply need are and to let
them know what is being sent and when to
expect it.
With all the supplies going into Pignon
with the two teams It is hard to determine what
the needs are or will be in the next few days
but as the teams start working and supplies
are used and needed we home this program will
allow us to better meet the supply needs at
the hospital.

Keep Praying

Lorrie
