Week 2, Day 2- Kicks and wicks

Bonswa family and friends!

We started our day with an entertaining educational session to the Bethesda medical staff on when they should refer a patient to physical therapy or not. It was so good to see all of the smiles and laughs from the staff throughout this. 

We had a busy day ahead of us, but we were all eager to get started! Josh and I were able to go on a house visit to make modifications to a wheelchair for a pediatric patient. We were able to teach the two Haitian therapists how to use certain tools, and how to best modify the chair. It’s refreshing to see how eager they are to learn anything and everything. The rest of the team continued to treat lots of patients in the clinic. There were complex cases throughout the day that really challenged us all. At times we could only turn to God and send him our prayers. 

At the end of each day, each individual from our team shares the good and the bad from our day. We decided that we’re going to call this “kicks and wicks” from here on out. This is one of my favorite parts of each day. I love being able to connect to one another through these unique experiences. God continues to fill each of us with joy and hope as we continue to put our trust in Him.

Please pray for clear minds, focus, and energy for the rest of the week.
