Mission III: Accomplished!

Today was our last day at Roosevelt!  Carolyn and Mark flew home this morning, so Caroline, Imani, and Ananya went into the hospital.  We spent most of the day wrapping up and saying our goodbyes.  We started the day by testing the baby monitor that we worked on yesterday at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.  It was the final piece of equipment we officially fixed! Afterwards we delivered some medical supplies to the hospital that BJC had graciously donated.  We then said goodbye to some of our favorite people we met this year.  Mynor (the respiratory nurse who helped us last year), Silvia (the head ICU nurse), Dr. Rivera, Gladys, and the Gastro nurses were some of these amazing people.  Horacio was incredibly helpful in sorting things out for us today, and saying bye to him was the hardest.  He promised that he would see us next year when we return.

To finish up our night, we went out to dinner with Manuel, one of the head residents from last year.  It was so nice to catch up with him and hear how his new job at the hemodialysis center is going. 

Overall, we had a wonderful and productive trip, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped us make it that way.  We will continue making progress throughout the school year, and absolutely cannot wait to be back next summer!
