How to describe yesterday. Strange, very strange... yet another confirmation that I am but a tool to be used to make change happen. Man, what didn't happen. Direct Help 4 Haiti and another group, led by my clone, Michael Pinson, have combined efforts to best utialize our different resources. The end result... Our eight member medical team is leaving on Monday for direct deployment into Port au Prince via Military Air Command 737 charter flight. We also believe to have secured cargo transport abilities. While this sounds good, and it is great, it comes with a downside: We are very very restricted as to time and place, large lead times regarding personnel and supplies. For example, we cannot get any supplies on this flight, only our people. May be able to get some cargo in on Wed. but need a manifest and weight of all supplies, as soon as possible to secure space and need to get them to Miami by Tuesday to get it on plane. Most importantly, “there is no protocol for extraction at this time.” This from the flight coordinator for Military Airlift charter. What this means is that we can get our team in-country, but will have to work out return once we get there. Hopefully this will change soon. Lastly, this flight is into Port au Prince and not Bahrona. I desperately need to get flight capability back to Bahrona to support hospital and doctors in the border town of Jimani. So, for all those people working on securing airlift/jets for me I STILL NEED THEM BIG TIME!
No post yesterday. Just no time and when I finally got home, just too burned to post. Looking at my iphone, could not do this without this amazing device, I just did a quick count of the number of calls for yesterday… 86! And that’s not counting texts. Oh, and I did a full day clients, spoke for 2 hours to a group of 60 and had to resuscitate a 78 year-old woman who almost died in my seminar. Absolutely crazy. I think that is a lot. So again yesterday was a bit strange.
