Packing more than I could ever imagine!

I am packing for Honduras! A team of 49 doctors, nurses, child life specialists, chaplains, and many others are headed to help the children of Honduras. We are embarking on a mission trip to perform cardiac surgeries at Cemesa Hospital in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The group is comprised of staff from Children's Medical Center of Dallas where I work, and staff from eight different states.  We have 50-60 children that are scheduled to be seen by our team. Many of these children will undergo cardiac surgery, some open heart and some with cardiac caths. 

I  was able to travel with this mission last year, and had so many wonderful stories and pictures to share. I wanted to be able to share those with my friends and family this year. 

I have been so blessed to have grown up in such a wonderful small town called Quitman, Texas. The church I grew up in, First United Methodist of Quitman generously donated over 1000 dollars to help the children of Honduras. We were able to purchase toys (which I have lovingly shoved into two bulging duffel bags) for many of the children and hygiene items for the family. The Crafty Christians made blankets and pillows for the kids! I still have money to help once we arrive in Honduras with lodging and food for the families. Does anyone want to fly over and help me carry it all?!?

I will update this blog as often as I can, and as the internet service allows! I hope that you enjoy this journal of our journey. Please pray for our team and the children we are here to help.
