New 6.1 Quake Hits Haiti

Words will never be able to describe what happened there. Speechless is something that I *Never* am, but for once, the world came to a screeching halt...
Utter chaos is not even close to what happened.
Desperation is an understatement.
Lack of supplies? Yes.
Lack of government assistance? Yes.
Lack of clean oxygen to breath? Yes.
Emotional melt downs? Yes.
Worst thing one has ever experienced? Yes
Children confused? Yes, yet they have a strong survival mold to overcome and smile and play.
Not enough volunteers to help everyone? Yes.
Do I want to discuss my feelings about everything? Not really.
Out of thousands, we could only help 40 per day, that really sucked!

At least you were able to help those you could. Blaze take your time to process what you experienced, it is overwhelming. I wish for you sleep and no dreams.

Thank you my friend. I will take that wish deep to heart! Dreams I hope not to have, but nightmares are evident. And can't really sleep when you know that there is so much more to be done there, it will take months and years to reestablish a stable ground and hope there. Next tour, we think that we can get better planning and get to the area's that are in dire need of help, so that is the plus side.
The news may have slowed down, but the need will always be very prevalent. Lot's of miracles were seen, as long as they can keep the Doctors that can reset and fix and take the amputation doctors farrrrrrrrrrr away from there!
And mark my words, there are way to many Docs that want to amputate instead of trying to reset and heal because there is truly not enough medical supplies to work properly with.

Monday we left at 11:20 PM came back Thursday 10:50 PM, and will have to go back when we can come up with a better plan of tactics. The good thing is Phone catches the web, so I could still check on what was happening on the Planet, that made me feel at home while away from home.

Sorry about no reports, but heck, even the news media has cut back. And in truth, they should be there now, showing what's going on. And to your question; Yes infections are numerous, there still is no running (clean water) the Flies are a major issue, hygiene is absent. Many have deep cuts and no one to help with even the basics of Band-Aid or creme's of any kind so yes, infections are overwhelming. The tent camps have no sanitation, most were starving even before the earth quake so that didn't help. I wanted to share info from there, but in truth, I couldn't stomach let alone comprehend how a nation with so little could have a government that cared less for there own. When I did have time to rest, all I could do was wallow in the sadness that these poor people deal with daily. So even if I could have shared with you all at that time, I couldn't bare to tell the truth of what I seen at that time....
