Hey all!

 

By Friday I was feeling much better! I went in to work and got right back to it. All-in-all Dr. Woods and I managed to fix: 4 plugs, 1 lamp, 2 scales, 1 light box, and the frame around a resuscitation unit…I feel pretty darn good. There a still a few things that could be salvaged if we get batteries and a few other parts; I will try to find these things after Dr. Woods leaves.

 

That evening we went to dinner with Jordan (one of my Breath Alert group mates!) who is traveling with Nick Kristoff! We at the super fancy hotel in town…it was so good! Nick asked Jocelyn a lot of questions regarding the CPAP device and the study. Afterwards Jocelyn, Kathleen and I went to celebrate Jocelyn and our friend’s farewell. It was so much fun; Jordan even came out with us for a bit!

 

The next morning Kathleen and I decided to make Jocelyn’s last breakfast at Kabula the best…we made French toast with apple cinnamon topping!!! After breakfast Jocelyn left and the rest of Saturday was a do-nothing day.

On Sunday Kathleen and I were planning to meet with Jordan and Nick to show them the CPAP machines in use at the hospital; however, they had to leave Blantyre early. So instead of going in to Queens on a Sunday we decided to go with our friends to the pool again, but this time early enough to catch lunch. Once again I did very little swimming, but I did start reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice!

 

After we showered off we all went to the TV lounge to watch Bridget Jone’s Diary; it was pretty funny and coincidentally had a Pride and Prejudice type of plot to it. And of course the evening wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have shadow-puppet time! I promise I’ve done more random things here than I have in years!

 

I can’t believe I’ve hit the month mark!!! The time has gone by so fast!

 

With love,

Bridget
