Things are coming to an end for the mission trip. Most everyone has returned to Spokane. The OR team completed 16 open heart operations plus 3 pacemaker cases. The CICU nurses provided outstanding care for some very sick patients and over time, were able to move them to step down. The step down nurses continued to give outstanding love and care until it was time to send the recovered patient home. All of us have grown very attached to each patient and as much as it was our over all goal to see each patient be able to go home, it was difficult to see them go. It is with tears of happiness and sadness that we say good bye.
As one nurse pointed out, "They have done more to change us then we have done to change them".
Thank you to all the people who supported us on this mission trip!
So proud of everyone to took part in this mission! You guys are an amazingly talented team! Huge Kudos to all!
