They are providing us with escorts. They have full guard around the hospital, it should be safe, not too big a worry. After that we toured the hospital. While touring there was a kid we saw with burns covering a good 40% of his body.
Dr Shayesth was very shaken by this and realized that this kid may lose an arm if we do not operate tonight. So Alina and Myself went with Dr S to assist in whatever way possible.
When he cut open the boy's arm with the cauterizing bovy the skin split as though it was pulled by a spring. This is FAR from normal, emphasizing the true condition this poor child was in. The boy was taken to a burn unit in Cali the next morning.
Now, however, it is sleep time, there is another long day ahead of us tomorrow, unpacking possible.
