Team Rehab Day 2

Day 2 After breakfast today and climbing on the roof to get a 360 degree view of Le Ceyes, we went to treat our first patient at the new clinic. We met Larissa, an 18 month old girl, whose parents brought her to Dr. June for her "crooked legs." Ali D and Sarah worked with Larissa, June, and the prosthetists Marvin and Thomás, while Allie and Greg sorted our supplies in the clinic. After evaluation of Laissa, we diagnosed her with pes planus (flat feet) and provided her with donated Nike sneakers and a plan for Mavin to make shoe inserts for arch support. Laissa's family and the team were able to see an improvement in her walking with the new shoes. After our only patient today, we ate a delicious picnic lunch on the balcony. We also helped June create a makeshift closet in her new apartment while Berkley supervised.  Packed up and drove though the mountains with Kayak in tow. To Port Salud. We went to a former airfield to see the rock formations at the beach. The rest of the afternoon was spent kayaking, swimming, sampling Haitian beer, and walking along the beach at Reposoir du Village. The beach was beautiful and we made a new friend with Thomás the CPO from Kenya. He even gave the Allie and Ali team a nickname...the A Team! When we got back to SEED a delicious meal,  but the girls were still locked out of their room from this morning. After a few phone calls we were able to get the right key to open our door after dinner. This is just a glimpse of our awesome experience in Haiti. Even though it's only day 2, Team Rehab knows this is an experience of a lifetime and we are forever grateful. P.s. Just to let you know how much fun we are having. While I type, Ali D is "deeting" a barrier around her sheets while we laugh.
