Team Rehab Day 7

After another carb filled breakfast, Team Rehab went to the hospital to find Jimmy and start treating the patients. Greg and Ali D started with getting the 16 year old boy out of bed who's surgery we had observed on Tuesday . It was amazing to see the motivation of a patient 2 days post femur rod surgery to get out of bed with only Tylenol for pain management. He even walked 10' total a with a walker. Allie and Sarah saw a 19 year old with a tibia fracture from a horse back riding accident and taught him to use crutches to increase his independence. The rest of the morning was filled with treating the patients in the hospital. So many of them were grateful for getting out of bed and going outside for the first time in days or months. After lunch at the guest house, the team when back to the hospital with June to see a 50 year old woman who was shot in near her neck the Saturday before in Port Salud. Sarah assessed her swallow and taught June the assessment and provided her with water. We also took a hike down to the bottom of the Reservoir to see the waterfall and relax wading in the cool water and climbing rocks. It was a beautiful view and a great workout. After dinner the team when back to the hospital to check for any increased arousal for the woman with a gun shot wound. When we got to her room her daughter was singing to her. When it was clear there was nothing we could do for her, the family asked June and Sarah to sing and pray for her. The team ended an exhausting but rewarding day playing games with the missionaries at the guest house.
