unpredictable

One thing I always forget though I never should is how unpredictable things can be in a place like Haiti.  I write this at 11:15pm as I am waiting in the clinic in Leogane with a few medical students for a woman to deliver a baby.  She should deliver by morning...but we all know that is completely unpredictable.

Delson is next door in his house.  I guess that he can get some naps since I will watch the baby's heart rate.  I hope that it stays good since it would be really hard to do a cesarean section now in the middle of the night.

I did my first focus group yesterday.  I learned some really interesting things, but the most important thing was that they need a hospital.  They have no where to go.  I already knew this, but it was really powerful to hear it.  Thank you, Doctor Rachel, thank you, thank you.  We know that this is not going to happen right away but we are so happy you care for us.  Our politicians do not care for us and now you come from a different country and you care.  I hope that this hospital gets finished soon and that it works for them.  I really do.
