The unexpected is so common place in Haiti that such occurences should not come as surprises. The project for today was the replacement of a couple ceiling panels in the station manager's house. Disassembly of the first panel revealed active termite activity so the approach was modified. The old material will be left in place until the new panels and battens have been cut to size and spray treated with appropriate termite inhibitors (the task for tomorrow). Once the house has been vacated on Thursday morning, replacement will continue.
In the meantime there was an opportunity to observe a C-section procedure at the hospital. While these procedures are rather common here, the one today turned out to be not at all typical or ordinary. Thankfully, both mother and baby girl survived, but not without close brushes with death. Matt will remember this day and this trip for a very long time.
We brought along some newborn and infant clothes that will be given to the mothers.
