Hello from Clinic Ezell

So I saw that Mary blogged earlier today, and I don´t know if you can tell by reading it, but she was really tired from working her night shift last night. Right now she is asleep (and probably sweating a lot) in our room.
Clinic Ezell is pretty amazing. I had no idea it was so huge! There are really nice dorm rooms and a huge dining room, 3 surgery rooms and a recovery room with 50 beds! Plus the grounds are beautiful. I think I will try and get some more pictures to put on here.
As far as experiences, Mary and I have gotten to be translators during patient interviews, we have been able to observe and assist in some OB-GYN surgeries, observe some plastic surgeries, count and pack pills for the mobile clinics, and Mary has worked the recovery floor. All in all we have been able to get a pretty big variety of experiences out of the 2 days we have been here so far. I believe there are surgeries scheduled for tomorrow and Thursday and I have night shift tomorrow night, so there will be many more experiences before the week is over.
I´m afraid that after this week we will have to become re-aquainted with Mountain life....I can´t speak for Mary, but it was really easy for me to get back into the swing of taking a shower every morning. It has also been wonderful to be able to use the internet freely and to have cold Cokes available for free in the fridge!
Well, I will work on putting more pictures up here....I believe that the link to the right works and that you can see some of our pictures on a site called Snapfish.
Keep praying for us and we love you all!
