18 January 2011 (2nd email today)
This is going to be really quick – we have just gotten word that there have been 50 cholera deaths in Gran Grassier (not sure of the spelling). Thiotte is the closest Cholera Treatment Unit to them, so I’m so grateful that I already have plans to be out there. Am somewhat concerned about the staff’s capacity to handle a big patient influx. They only started operations a few days ago.
I’m sweaty and tired from the trip to Bainet. Thought the bottom was surely going to fall out of the car, the way the driver was BLASTING along the mountain roads.
Also – just got a new modem that supposedly will work in the hinterland. We’ll see!
Thanks to all of you for your notes. It really buoys me up to hear from you.
With love and determination,
Beverly
