A New Chapter.... Exciting Things are coming!!!

Hello!
                     I hope this blog finds everyone well!


I have a big announcement to all our followers. 


Myself and Jason Martin have started our own chapter of Healing the Children!


We are now Healing the Children, Southern California chapter. 

              As a new chapter we need your support, through donations of money, medical supplies, gloves, gowns, OR start kits, sutures, cast material, AFOs, Orthotics, braces etc.  as part of the National HTC we have a tax ID number and contributions are tax deductible. 


We are so grateful for all the help and support in the past and look forward to continue to inform everyone of our wonderful outreach work. 
Our next tip is planned for March 2016. Time flies, our goal is to raise 5,000 USD to make this trip possible. 

To Donate, go to www.healingthechildren.org Click on the Donate Button, Choose Southern California Chapter. No donation is too small. 1 pack of gloves or 50 cents, it will all be put to good use for the children and adults of Nepal afflicted with foot and ankle deformities. 

THANK YOU

Marathon Wednesday.

It is 10pm Kathmandu time. We just got back from dinner.

Breakfast was at 6:30, we were at NOH by 8 am ready to start our day. Two cancelations later, cases were flipped and our day was started.

As Dr Ali brought external fixation equipment we were able to perform 2 today. One a very very complex case that lasted over 8 hours. The other a complex deformity in a child who broke her leg after falling 2 stories, she was set in a deformed position, we used the frame to fix this.

We were over 12 hours total in the OR. Long but satisfying day.

During the day I met with the Chief of the hospital, we discussed sponsorsships of missions, our next mission, monetary donations to aid in our patients care. This was very enlightening. 

We left NOH around 8 pm. One of our team NOH doctors Ragiv saw us starting to walk home, he called the hospital administration and got us a ride! Although it was a lovely night, all of our feet appreciated this gift of motorized travel!!!

While a few went back to hotel, the remainder went back to Gokarna for a delicious dinner buffet and a bit of birthday cake for Latika.

Well after a long 18 hours day, we all need a little bit of rest!

Namaste, until tomorrow
Dr Jennifer
