All packed and ready to go!

Hi family and friends,

Jason and I are actually packed and ready to head to Africa! Currently, poor Jas is on call at the VA tonight and I have not heard from him so one can assume that the night is not treating him well:(. Fortunately he has 30 hours to catch up on sleep.
We have a variety of things packed....clothes to teach in, scrubs for the hospital, safari clothes, work clothes for the orphanage, rain boots, LOTS of protein bars, peanut butter, textbooks on anesthesia, central lines, laryngoscopes, batteries, and a lot of other supplies that people have sent us to take to the hospital. We will also be meeting up with our friend Zipporah, an Anesthesiologist from Nairobi, Kenya who we worked with in Chiclayo, Peru and Jas is bringing her some pediatric medical supplies.
We will be arriving to Nairobi Sunday night and staying at a local guest house. Monday we will make a stop at a grocery store then head to Kijabe where we will meet up with the Newtons (Dr. Mark Newton is an Anesthesiologist at the Hospital and his wife Sue is a missionary). From there we will orient to the hospital and I will be meeting with Anne, the tutor at the Kijabe Nursing School to go over the schedule for the students.
I hope to keep this blog updated as much as possible and post some pictures. We so appreciate all of the support everyone has shown us in preparation for this trip and it is just overwhelming to think about how much encouragement we have received. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are excited about this trip and look forward to sharing some stories of our experiences in Africa!

Much love, Jason & Em
