Since Tyrone has been home from his mission trip to the Dominican Republic he worked his last day at a big city hospital he has been at since 2004 (RN, SRNA, CRNA). Started a new job at a small country hospital. Made an offer on a house and signed all the contract paperwork. Worked like madmen to get our house market ready in four days and then sold our house and signed some more papers.
But that is all a story for another day. Here - Tyrone's amazing mission trip to the DR. It was organized by a local church and Tyrone was invited by a former co-worker.

| Little 4yr old kid with his mom. He had a cyst above his right upper eyelid. This picture is before surgery. Had permission to share these photos. |

| I didn't discover this until the last day but this HUGE heavy OR lamp was literally hanging by a string. |

 |
| This is our ride to the hospital every day |

Perhaps the most difficult thing anesthesia wise was that the ventilators on the gas machines didn't work so you had to hand bag the patient the entire case, I had no idea what kind of tidal volumes I was delivering to their lungs and no way to monitor EtCO2 |

| End of week party |
