Day 7, Last Day

We started with rounds. The patients were doing well, progressing with minimal complaints.  One swollen knee due to the anticoagulation.
We delivered new mother gifts in OB and toys in Pediatrics.  The team has adopted the new moms, their babies and the sick kids in peds. They have spent the last 6 months gathering toys, diapers and baby clothes. Over the last 10 days they have all made the trips to OB and Peds to deliver the gifts. I work with an amazing group of folks.
We went over to clinic to see 17 one year followup patients and review their X-rays. One of our major goals for this project is measuring the long term outcomes of total joint replacement in a mission trip environment. The great news is that they are all doing very well.  No complications and function  seems comparable to our patients in Nashville. We will keep following for the entire 10 years.
We were done by 1pm. Some spent the afternoon shopping in Veracruz.  Paul and I drank a couple of beers on the main square downtown,
We leave for home at 5am tomorrow.
