Twins are being born. A nurse just endured an ectopic, attentive husband watching. A 19-year-old and her 3lb baby, both making tentative steps toward life. Yet a toddler fights an infection with a quarter of his body burned.
No one misses a beat. Medical providers, staff. They do not only what they must, but what they should. Hopital Ste Croix field hospital, 6 tent domes with an outpatient clinic at the adjacent nursing school. Born out of desperation and a desperate desire to help. Teamwork. Intensity. Passion. To accompany people here as they re-imagine healthcare in their community...
The Episcopal Bishop blessed the hospital today, urging us forward.
Fr Jenkins and a Notre Dame delegation just finished 2 days of seeing its roots here, strong before January 12, and began reaching for deeper engagement.
In the rawness of tonight, and for many many after, we are on call.
