Peace to my Grand mother



Tonight I want to post a quick update. Last night my sister Alcie, email me and tell me that my Grand mother was died, I was sad and think about her when I was leaving her in Haiti, she was old and was burned by a kerosene lamp one week before she died. right after they brought her to a tent hospital in Leogane, 67 % of her body was burned... poor grand ma. she was in coma right after her burn. now she is in peace and I hope that she goes straight to the haven.

I am still doing progress on my externship at Meriter Hospital. My suture skills are great and I learn a lot about orthopedic instruments, cast, splinting and sterile technic. I also spent time on foot and ankle care. These new experiences or knowledge will be more than helpfull for me in haiti. words are not enough to thank Dr.Dopf and meriter Hospital for this opportunity they give me and the sacrifices they are making to help Haiti. Hope next week I could start to work with some physician at University of Wisconsin Hospital.




I still thank God because he shows me his way and tells me what he wants me to do and opening all door for me and giving me a lot of opportunities and put a lot of good poeple in my way. At this time I would never think I would be here In Madison, but God was planning and wrote some where in his book that I should be here , and his words are true I am here. I didn't choose Him he did. But when He called me, I said yes. Since, He is using me showing me that there is nothing in this earth that can compare to his love, his power and what he save for us in the haven. I am surprise about what I am seeing here in the states and also think about what kind of life I was living in Haiti, some time I ask my self: " why God choose this time right after the earthquake in Haiti, where life is so difficult at this present moment to bring me in the states?" why, why? I dont know. when I went to the nursing school right after the earthquake and help the people. I didn't know who I was; I leave my house and never come back, leave my bed room with all my supplies, leave my family and spent tree weeks without seeing them. my house is at about 10 mns from the nursing School. It was not me but God, because when God is in you, you forget all that you have, and who you are. and the more you care about materiel, the less you are close to God. ist why He said that It's very difficult for a rich man to go to the haven.

The Nursing school is open now. And the task become more difficult for the student and the Dean of the Nursing School cause we had a few people that really have a good qualification to teach in Haiti. the earthquake killed many of them.I cant wait to go back and share my experience with them. Now WE need support all kind of support. education, infrastructure, health, development... we need to restart. I cant change haiti by my self but I believe that God can and will. Next week I will be very busy with my new schedule. God give me a passion and energy to learn. Now I am asking Him to help me to get a master in nursing, Or help me to become a Surgeon. because I want to learn more and be more help full for Haiti, We have a few among of doctors and most of them are not really qualified because all they objectives are making money and have a cute life. God Give me a passion for Haiti.
I am lucky and very gracefull to be a Christian and a health provider at the same time, it's like a blessing.
Haiti for god God for Haiti
it' almost 1: 44 Am I need to get some rest. will post more soon
Love you all!

My trip to Madison Wisconsin

I am finally enter the USA, after a lot of effort that Dr. Dopf A. Craig one of the first orthopedic doctor I work with In Haiti right after the earthquake, made to get me here. with the help of many other people and institution like the UWHC, where I will get my training. My trip to Madison is a blessing. I will be able to get some more experience in nursing and be more help full for my community in Haiti. We still need help and specially health care. Tonight I will be short cause it's late. but I wanted to share this experience and keep this blog up date then people will still know what I am doing and how thing is doing in haiti. even I am not in Haiti, but I still have connection with my family and some friends in haiti. Today I was talking with my mom and I was very sad for them and for Haiti. I was thinking about them and it makes me cry a lot and it's one of the reason that I up date my blog tonight cause I really want to write to decrease my sadness. actually it's 11: 30 p.m. I am sitting in front of my computer and crying. cause I feel that my place is not here. it's true that I am here for a good reason and I am very comfortable with the Dopf's family where I am living now for the 70 days of training at the UWHC(University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinic. I feel that they was my own family. They give me everything I need or want. they are very nice with me and feel very comfortable with them. I am very happy to see Dr. Dopf again, get to know him more and spend time with his beautifull family. they are wonder full, Craig and his wife Christa and God will bless them. this link will tell you more about who he is and how I met him and my first day in Madison.

I call Haiti today, cause I wanted to finish working on documents before I call them. it was for the first time since I am here in Madison, I arrived here on april 9. I was so happy to talk with my mom. but was also sad because of what she told me about home and Haiti.
Last night was terrible for them, it was raining so much that the tent where my family is living now collapsed into them . the sadness thing is that one of my brother just have two little girls(twins )they have about one month. my nieces, the twins was sleeping inside the tent. Imagine what happened when it collapsed. So my brother was obliged to cover the twins, his daughters with his own body. So that story about my family, and I know that it's not only my family that knows that situation but thousands and thousands of others family. So I just felt abnormal for me to be here at this time. every single things I put in my mouth hurt me heart cause it think about these people in Haiti. and one more thing that make live more difficult is that they still have big aftershock yesterday and this morning they had two big and the people was very scared. I need to go now and i will keep you up date. tomorrow would be my first day at the Hospital. Last week I made all my screening and was will concern about my results cause I spent 3 months in haiti After the earthquake working very hard with the patients and was exposed to all kind of germs and pathologies, blood...So I am fine all my result are normal. So this week will be very busy for me , will start with my training and get immunizations and...
will post more soon.
