It is hard to believe but we leave for home today. This has been a great experience. The people have been wonderful and eager to work long hours to help as many as possible. Yesterday was our last operating day. We did 5 cases, including removal of the large tumor from the back of the young woman's leg. Removing it left a large defect down to the muscle, but thanks to the dermatone donated by Laughlin Hospital we were able to do a skin graft. They have not had that capability in years.

Today is cloudy and about 75F. We are scheduled to take off at 6pm (2pm eastern) for a 9 hour trip to Brussels then on to Newark and Knoxville, arriving at 6 pm on Saturday. We want to thank everyone for their prayers, this trip was a great blessing.
