My spot to blog. Saturday, November 3, 2012. It's been a couple of days since I updated but everythings well here! We have had a total of 13 patients, not including a few pacemaker placement patients, one of which was one of the first nurses here at Tenwek! There have been six more patients since I last updated. Charles, Chepkoech, Irene and Joyce were all mitral valve replacements and did well! Ron teach during Hilary's TEE in the OR! An optimistic EF of 19. Today we measured 28! Sarah, Amy, Dr. Gal...

My spot to blog. Thursday, November 10, 2011. I got to visit the school today! The kids wanted to send all my friends back in the states (especially you southerners) a message! Things are going AWESOME today! Praise God for that! He's not even 24hrs post op and he's up in a chair, off his oxygen, smiling while listening to NeedToBreathe on Kristen's iPod, and ready to go play futbol! He's our miracle boy :). Beauty is quite the beast. She is from Zimbabwe! Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundan...

My spot to blog. Monday, October 29, 2012. My family came to see me off! Just missing Graham (Already got to facetime her tho :). Jenny, Nez and I found some time to go for a little walk! Our first mission was to set up and organize the ICU. Nez and Tom had set up a lot beforehand b/c they came earlier so we didn't have a ton to do; I was thankful for that! Taking a second to chit chat while setting up! Our first patient, Dorothy, getting back from the ICU. How badly I wanted to say "We brought one!

my spot to blog: February 2011
http://annacorinne16.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
My spot to blog. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. So I found out I don't really have as much to say as I thought. I'm not one to blog about what I did today; I more like to blog about a significant experience or something I learned but at this point who cares, eh? There's something special in store for this lil dude. At such a young age he's already made so many people fall for him. I'm pumped and blessed to be a part of his life. It's official. I will be attending my 2nd TaySweezy concert in Nashville,...

My spot to blog. Sunday, November 20, 2011. On our first night on the safari we had our surprise bush dinner. Afterwards our group was headed back to the lodge, except we didn't go directly there. We were driving down some bumpy path and I shined my flash light out on the land and saw eyes light up! I'm not so sure if I freaked out as much as I excitedly shouted to Steven(our driver) "I SEE EYES TO THE RIGHT! And before I knew what I'd said we had peeled that direction towards the EYES! For granted back ...

My spot to blog. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. It is now Thursday morning (12am) and I'm on my third night shift so far. We've seen two more patients come and go on to the wards. Yesterday's patients were Lilian and Agnus. They, like Dorothy and Peris, were mitral valve replacements. That seems to be the trend right now. 20-30year old females with On-X valves placed.and they have all done so well! I thank God I can say "yes! It's better than ever! I think he's the sweetest man! Meaning "are you ok? Just a...
