The team continues to function at a very high level and everyone is having a great experience (of the HCMC group). Craig and I have tried to Skype between Hue but no luck. Once again, I haven’t seen anyone this evening from our group, so I can’t give you specifics for the day except my day. At breakfast, all were happy, happy, happy!
I continue to be thrilled as I have found a new home in HCMC. I did two sinus operations today. Both went great. The anesthesiologist did perfect, there was no bleeding, the teaching couldn’t have gone better and the patients did well! I lectured all afternoon to the staff and doctors from many other hospitals who want to learn how to do modern sinus surgery without power. Power is still a dream to anyone outside the major hospitals. I am so happy!
Last night was dinner with Phong and her family and it was great. Tonight I will have dinner with Minh and her family. She is Begee and my first daughter from Vietnam. We are very close to her and her family, so tonight is very special. Tomorrow night, I will have dinner with a small group of the Gia Dinh staff, and that should be very nice.
The ear docs just came in and had a fantastic day. They are as thrilled as I am. Scott Estrem leaves to go to Korea to see his son tonight. John McElveen left two nights ago, so the team is thinning. Scott, Ric and Brian went to the Cu Chi tunnels today and had a very good experience.
It sounds all medical. It is not. Deep relationships are being established, nurtured, and continued in ways that are vital. We are where we are supposed to be. What a blessing!!!! In His Grace, David
