Unfortunately the internet connection has been very bad and i have had difficulty posting to my blog and updating everyone.
I will make an effort to do so now. I will say that i was speaking with my children back home and i am not missing this horrible weather you all are having and i hope everyone is staying warm and safe.
Here its 78-98 degrees. I will say that yesterday was a very hot day traveling to Suleja.
Upon arrival i stopped by Synapse Services and said hello to some colleagues of mines who i had not seen since April 2014. It felt so good to see everyone and to feel so welcomed.
The following day i spent the entire day in an all day training and staff meeting. It was a very long day but i am hoping that it was productive and that is produces change. We spoke about work ethics and code of conduct and brain stormed on how to provide better patient care.
i also had a chance to say hello to a patient i had built a good rapport with and who i had not seen since April as well. I also had the chance to meet with some other patients and speak with them about their struggles with drug addiction.
Yesterday was an amazing day. In the morning i spent time in two family meetings with family members of patients in Synapse Services. WHAT A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE. I was touched by the hurt sadness confusion and pleading from the families to help their children get well. The pleading for answers and the sadness they feel was so hard to hear but knowing that we were able to instill hope in them and that we are able to continue to work with them and their children on getting them well makes all that we do SO WORTH IT!!!
We then drove to Suleja. This was about an hour drive and due to several recent road bombings their was many military road blocks and check points which caused lots of traffic.
