But before the ice cream, we were working hard at the Children's Hospital in Hanoi today. Or I guess I should say that Amanda and Jennifer were working hard today. Amanda did a wonderful job speaking with parents of children with asthma and bronciolitis. Everyone seemed very happy that we were there and they were all very inquisitive. Jennifer observed children's behavioral health assessments. Today was mostly observation, but tomorrow we plan to give some lectures and continue helping on the units. Jessica got to take a tour of the operating room and sterile processing, where they clean their instruments and get sterile supplies ready for surgery. Ashley and Jessica were mostly there for moral support and photography to capture all the memories:)
Today we branched out from Vietnamese cuisine and ate at Al Frescos for lunch. We feasted on some good old fashion American food--pizza, french fries and tex mex food. We ate a very large lunch and were all ready for a nap afterwards. If we lived here we would be taking a siesta after lunch for about an hour. That sounds fabulous--I'm so jealous.
And most importantly, I need to mention that the staff from GVI have been wonderful. Huong, Tai, Tan and everyone else that we will meet soon, we want to thank them for all their help and guidance. You've made this trip an educational, fun, and memorable experience.
That's all for now
Jessica
