First Surgery!

They are changing lives in Honduras. The first surgery went well. Check out the Friends of Barnabas facebook page if you get a chance!

First Day of Surgery!

There are two kiddos scheduled for surgery today...Yadira and Claudia. Let's keep them in our prayers! When I hear any details I'll let you know.

If you notice things are different this year. Last year we ran two ORs and did about 4 surgeries a day...this year they are running one OR and doing 2 surgeries a day. This all has to do with limited funds, limited supplies and limited number of volunteers. When times are tough people cut charitable donations first. I've never been good at asking for money but there are so many children in Honduras who since need surgery. If you are reading this and you would like to make a contribution you can do so at fobf.org

Hopefully I'll have great news about these first two kids very soon.

Remember to keep the team in your prayers...they work very long, hard days!

Little Hearts 2010

Today the Cardiac Surgery team arrived in San Pedro Sula, Honduras and spent the day unpacking and setting up. I still can't believe I'm not with them...it just doesn't seem right! :( From what I hear they arrived safely...although I did get a text from Amanda saying that Dan missed his flight....let's just hope he found another flight cause I don't seem them being able to do anything without him! It seems there has to be some sort of airport issue every year. In 2007 we had to unpack and repack our supplies because Continental didn't seem to like the way we had them packed. In 2008 Audrey's passport expired soon after our trip so they made her drive to Houston to get a new passport and then get a flight to Honduras. Last year those of us who were traveling a few days early to set up ended up leaving with everyone else since our flight was canceled.

Surgeries and caths start first thing in the morning. Please keep everyone in your prayers. If I hear how things are going or if I am told of any prayer request I'll post them here.

Sending lots of love and prayers to Honduras!
