February 6th, 6AMI've been remiss in journaling so I”M going to quickly get caught up. After two and one half weeks away, it's been hard just telling and hearing all the stories from Jan about what we did. While in Haiti, people would ask 'how'd you do that' and I'd tell them I have no idea as all intel is 'need to know' and I don't need to know'Now I”m back and Toni Z. and Jay S. who are both

Pardon me for waxing emotional. I leave the work to Amoce and the team. Short of food shortages. Life is returning to an overcrowded normal. The prison was upsetting with 75 men in a 16 x 16 ft space. All were sick. Skin sores. Drinking wash water. No ventilation.the video I snuck can't capture it. Smith brought his whole extended family from PAP using 2 wks wages and now has 15 in his 2

Dave Steel kindly fixed our website during this `crisis` when it had no blogs - yenow he`s made it so I can upload directly from my phone.  I`m on Blackberry so be tolerant. Saw Alby, our hero pilot and took him w CBS all over Cayes.  Bill Whitaker was cool, speaking French and wading into crowds. The whole CBS team was very empathic.  We may not make prime-time but it sure looks

Dispatch Friday January 29,2010 I’ve been remiss in my journaling but why will become apparent. Wednesday AM, I’m talking to the pilot who is flying my docs out to Nassau and he mentions he may stop by Cap Haitian. I run back to the house, pack last clean shirt, a bit of food, and my passport and the next thing I know, I’m flying a huge beautiful jet from Cayes airport that brought in food and

Dispatch #5 Only two things happened today: The Cavalry came. We were standing in the Refugee Center talking to the men who work night and day when three army guys and the regional director of the UN came up to us and asked our status and work. They never greeted the Haitians at all, never asked them a question! They invited us to a conflab on future planning for Cayes, congrats on the work

Jay’s blog #3 Don’t remember what I wrote, or where I ended. I’ll leave Jan to fix that. The days are blurring. Today is Sunday. Late Friday, Ann and Matt, husband and wife Internist and Pediatrician, Wayne, the Firefighter, and Paul Davis (Jan’s husband and Team leader) arrived via Nassau. Many delays, They got to the house by 4PM and MEBSH was SUPPOSED to pick us up at 5PM to drive a hard

At Bonne Fin hospital this morning we gave toys to the kids in the pediatrics unit. 8 kids, 2 amputees. Others scraped up badly and broken limbs. Now a change in plans. Moving back down to Cayes to Centre de Sante Lumiere because a team of 21 surgeons, anesthesiologists, etc are arriving in a couple hours. Haiti is operating on an hour by hour schedule. Read blog later for more info.

Unfortunately, I do not have my dispatch from the first two nights so I may repeat myself. BUT: I am thrilled to be typing tonight on a real mac with a keyboard and screen. I cobbled together a system out of parts tonight when I got back to the house. I guess today is about truck people. The people arriving packed in cargo trucks are breaking my heart. They are shattered looking. They are

God is laughing at me Dispatches from the Western Front by Jay Nielsen Rob Rice of Great Commission Air and I have been traveling since 6:30 AM Monday but the story starts 12 hours before. I was planning to make landfall in Haiti sometime this week when Bill Tenhaaf, general surgeon, called me from O’Hare and said leave immediately, by any means, Cayes is falling apart.
