Meet Tenwek's Newest Patient

OK, for those of you that have been following me since my first trip to Tenwek, you might remember a certain story about a nurse that I ran into with her arms all the way into a bag with it pulled up to her shoulders in the OR ...

Well... as I rounded the corner into the OR this afternoon to start setting up for our first open heart tomorrow I ran into a nurse with his hands all the way inside a big rough cotton bag, and the bag went all the way up to his shoulders. 

Well, that only means one thing at Tenwek... there's a baby in that there bag!



Since I "happened" to have my camera with me I followed the nurse into the recovery room that our nurses were busy converting into a post-op ICU and got to witness the special event.  The little boy was probably less than a minute old when I laid eyes on him and he was a real cutie.  See for yourself...



"Camera Guy" is back!
