Thank you for all your help and support while I've been here. One of the hardest things for me to be witness to here is the simple lack of resources preventing high quality care like we are capable of having back home. It's amazing what I took for granted when I arrived here - lack of something so cheap and simple as a glucometer or urine dip stick making the difference between a quick and simple adjustment and death or serious injury. Also, I ask that you please go out and donate blood when you have a chance, it's often people die here because there is no blood available.

Thank again and stay tuned for the next update!
