Extra trip

As some of you maybe aware Rich Owens, Amber Shields and Lori Bell are currently in Honduras at Hospital Loma de Luz for a week. As Lori is updating her facebook page from her phone she has asked for those posts to be copied here for you all.

Saturday Feb 2
Hello! Made it to Houston. Already met interesting people on there own trek to Honduras. Unable to bring important compressed air that was needed for the ABG (blood gas) machine. Pray for a solution to that. Thank you Mary B. Strahm for our Starbucks coffee cards! Boarding at 9am. Thanks for thoughts and prayers. Stay tuned for more of Rich, Amber and Loris awesome adventures ;-) — at George Bush Intercontinental Airport - Houston.

Sunday Feb 3
Safe and sound at Hospital Loma de Luz! Fun and uneventful drive today. Hit the grocery store in Ceiba and just ended the day with a super owl party and a great reunion or introduction to all the awesome missionaries here. We are so blessed to come here and spend time at this amazing place! More to come tomorrow. — 

Monday Feb 4
A surgeon for each hand. Lucky patient! Machete attack and serious damage. Father and son. Dr Rich and Dr Jeff fixed them both up and Amber and I with help from Jenna our awesome interpreter recovered them. Also, picture of Amber unpacking. Busy week ahead!



Tuesday Feb 5
Up and off to the hospital. A loabor patient waiting and lots of ortho surgery patient to recover! Rich is super busy in the OR today. Had a great dinner (late) with a Tegucigalpa missionary couple and the CRNA (anesthesia) that is down for our week. Lots of laughs.
