Swipe to see bun bun cozied up with the rest of the “just like me” stuffies I had the honor of gifting my patients today thanks to amazing volunteers designing, 3D printing, and assembling them in advance on the homefront ❤️
40 prostheses casted, modified, laminated, and assembled in 4 days is wild. To give you an idea, back home we typically manage patient expectations to be about a month (often longer) for this service over the course of about 4 appointments 😯 It’s not only our team that is amazing in this collaboration, it is also CURE Children's Hospital of Ethiopia prosthetic team stepping up and work, work, working hard right along with us and feeding us a great lunch every day. We may be dropping like flies to GI fun (thank goodness for meds from home for many- fingers crossed I am not next) - but it’s not stopping us.
Delivery day tomorrow 😭 Peep my stories for evidence of being at our third location this evening - going beyond the hotel and hospital- in prep for tomorrows big feels all around ❤️
I cannot say thank you enough for all your support and encouragement.
