Today was busy as the other Plastic Surgeons headed home yesterday. I operated on 7 patients, 1 of whom was a 3 month old girl with a deep wound from being trapped under her dead mother’s weight.

We are organizing a group of New York Plastic Surgeons to begin traveling down here in pairs starting next week to continue this work. As of yet I do not know when that will be, and have decided to stay on here until help arrives. Each day that these wounds are left open they grow more likely to become infected and result in an amputation.

The skin grafting machine arrived in the Manhattan office today and will be delivered to me Friday. This will make a huge difference.

Today we had an after shock, but I didn’t really feel it.

Goodnight from Haiti.
