Helo to Tobelo


Today, I had the privilege of escorting 2 patients and 2 escorts home by helo (it is totally un-cool to call it a helicopter!)  We had picked these ladies up in Tobelo, but their surgeries were more complicated and they were not recovered when we left for Ternate.  So we flew them back to Tobelo today, which was a 45 minute flight one way.  We flew out at 0630 and saw a beautiful sunrise from the air!

When we arrived, we had a large welcome committee... lots of people who heard we were coming and came to see the helo.  Our patients were so happy and thanked us for everything and waved us off.

On the way back, our pilot circled around anything interesting he saw so that we could all get a great view.  The pics say it all!

Evolution in Darwin

A View from the pier in Darwin.  The Mercy is on the left. Before beginning this great adventure called Pacific Partnership, I did not realize many things.  One of them being how it feels to live on a ship for weeks at a time.  It is interesting, fun and wonderful in many ways, however, it can also make you stir crazy!  I had not realized that by the time we arrived in Darwin, Australia, I would be as anxious as I was for some free time, called Liberty.  We had 3 full days in Darwin and I tried to use every minute to the fullest! Casuarena Beach It's a beautiful city with friendly people and lots of tourism.  Since we have over 1000 people on the Mercy, it was fun for me to be in this strange city, yet see people I knew everywhere I went!  I ate local food recommended to me by my son, Nathan, who served a 2 year mission in The Land Down Under.  One of his suggestions was to try the Flake fish and chips.  We discovered a fantastic restaurant on the wharf, just a short walk

July 5, 2010 First Patients

Image
Santi Our first patients came aboard in Jakarta.  There, we took on many more translators, another LDSC RN and two patients with their escorts.  Prior to this, it had not occurred to me that there may be patients we could not help and would have to turn away.  Our first patient, and 8 year old girl named Santi, has cataracts and can only see minimally out of one eye.  After the initial exam, the doctors were thinking she could not be helped and that news made us all very sad.  However, further testing suggested otherwise and we have kept her here for surgery!  Both of our patients are now riding along with us to our official stop in Indonesia where they will undergo surgery and be flown back by helicopter.  We do not do the surgery now as the ship is underway and surgery would be risky with the movement.
