We all can't believe our last day has come and gone. We did rounds, then procedures, then OR and everybody is back packing up their belongings now. The heat has let up some and we are all feeling good, but ready for some site-seeing and beach time in Elmina. We will be at the Coconut Beach Resort for 2 nights and 3 days. We have a driver hired to take us there from Accra when we fly down early tomorrow morning. We leave BMC at 4:30 am - the drive is about 2 hours and our flight about 8 am. We will eat dinner around 6 tonight and head to the weekly Station meeting at Jayne's house, the pharmacist. I have posted the pics of the "high-powered vacuum" procedure that Becky did yesterday. You can see her here holding the tube in place and I am showing the contraption that removed the fluid in record time. We did it again today but the vacuum machine ran out of power - we're not even sure how it is powered actually. So today we just kept pulling fluid with a large syringe to remove her fluid. She is in pretty significant heart failure....we hope this makes her feel a little better. Enjoy
