A very quick post to say that Cathy, Mickey and I returned to Kampala today. We spent the afternoon working in the high risk ward at Mulago Hospital and will return there tomorrow for the full day. It wasn't a particularly busy shift this afternoon but every patient has complications or high-risk status so I expect tomorrow will hold many learning opportunities.
Our final day in Masaka was really good. We attended a couple of normal births, I assisted Mickey at another post-miscarriage procedure, there were IV successes, and it felt like our work there as a group ended on a good note. Brynne is staying on for two more weeks.
I'm just about to meet some folks for Indian food at the Masala Chaat restaurant in downtown Kampala so must run. I'm going to Jinja this weekend to river raft on the headwaters of the Nile - will try to post before I go but if not, shall catch you all up on our experiences and adventures early next week.
In peace,
Heather

Hello Heather;
So glad to see you are getting some opportunities for exploration and exciting eating. Your posts are bringing home for many of us here how much we take for granted our comfort, privilege, and the utmost care that is taken to preserve our lives, and those of our babies! Thank for all of your posts, and for your candour, it is so appreciated.
Much love,
Marlene
Hi Heather,
