We are exhausted, but the results are so dramatic we just keep going. We teachers just led our last clinic session. Tomorrow will just be Barry overseeing the 5th treatment session by himself. He gave us the day off, but we will come in anyway and see some of the other kids that are not in the 'program'. There will also be a graduation, certificates, etc. We got in to the hospital yesterday. unreal. we treated several babies just hours old. look for the update. truely amazing. I have been in tears several times since yesterday afternoon. On our way to a different hospital today. See you soon! Thanks for checking in!

Their professional experience with newborns has been a tremendous benefit to the entire project. The moms that are coming in are comforted by the presence of the pediatrician students, even when their babies are crying and flipping upside down in the air. The most exciting piece of news from today’s session is that the doctor who originally invited us to come and teach Barry’s work here has asked us to come in to the local public hospital nursery Thursday, Friday and Saturday to work with the newborns....the babies that, as of this posting, have yet to be born. Only in the private hospitals here do new moms have the luxury of a several-day stay post-partum. We may even be there during a birth or two. The true mission of this trip is not just to teach this amazing work around the globe and gain clinical data on how it helps prevent common structural conditions in children previously only treated with medication or surgery. It is to introduce to the world the concept of the Brain Score, an evaluation tool which can determine the function of the central nervous system at birth. Ideally, the Brain Score would be calculated as soon after birth as possible. As of yet, no one who knows how to do the Brain Score has been invited into the hospital setting. Come Thursday, the four of us may have this opportunity. The students are doing an amazing job. Their professional experience with newborns has been a tremendous benefit to the entire project.

After the clinic wrapped up, we followed up with the asthma and foundation children we treated in the first few days of our visit. Krissy, Mike and Christine (me!)spent half of the lunch break following up with the little girl with club foot that was pictured in one of the first posts. Videos abound, but we have not been able reduce their size enough to put them on the blog yet. My kingdom for a IT expert right now.

We are limited in our access to the internet, but more is coming soon. The first segment of our mission finished on Saturday with great success. One of the physicians that took the seminar referred to the work as "magic". We will be starting the newborn clinic segment tomorrow where we will be teaching the Brain Score to pediatricians, neo-natologinsts, gynocologists, and neo-natal nurses, then taking those students into a 5 day rapid fire clinic for babies under 4 mos of age. We will be in teams of 5,each of the teachers with 4 students. Tomorrow we will treat 50 babies, the next days we will be aprox. 60 babies each day. Because the foundation we are working with helps so many children, there are many in need that are older than the cut off age for the clinic. After we finish with the scheduled children we have several others to get to with issues ranging from asthma, to club foot and pectis excavatum (check my spelling on that one, aka known as funnel chest). this has been a life changing journey already, and the most powerful and demanding phase is yet to come.

Our students are pediatricians, OB/GYN doctors, dulas, ect. There are three translators for Mike, Krissy and I, as well as a simultaneous translator for Barry as he lectures. It looks a bit like the UN with the translator behind glass speaking into the students headphones. Day 2 is off to a roaring start. Our students are pediatricians, OB/GYN doctors, dulas, ect.
