The Journey Begins

About to head out to the airport to begin a trip to Ho Chi Minh that will end on Feb. 2. Since we cross the international date line, we will have no Feb. 1, 2009. We will also be on a plane during the Super Bowl. From here we go to Houston then on to LA and from there we go to Taipei Taiwan before catching our flight to Ho Chi Minh. We'll spend Monday night there and then fly to Vinh to begin our work. Here is the tentative schedule for the month we will spend at the hospital.
Week 1: work in Newborn Unit and Ped Intensive care, round with staff, take census and report on patients
Week 2 + 3: work in Respiratory dept (in and outpatient) visit local schools for asthma survey. census of inpatients on respiratory. Work on environmental survey
Week 4: continue work, Infection control

Should be fun, we can't wait to get over there. Will post again once we arrive.
