As we look back on the past week, and think about all the wonderful experiences that we have had we are amazed by all of the changes we have seen. For many of us this is our second trip to Haiti and so much has changed. Roads are paved, political change is on the horizon, and new life is evident. Today, we were able to work side by side with the Haitian physician at the Lifeline clinic where we assessed and treated about 150 patients. We were blessed to be able to perform several ultrasounds which revealed healthy mothers and babies! It was amazing to see the mothers' faces light up when the translators explained that the muffled noise they were hearing were their babies' heartbeats. It is stunning to witness the change that our group and so many others like ours have made half a world away. We all feel truly blessed to have been given such a wonderful opportunity.
