more updates from our medical team on the ground

update from Marcus (Bobi's husband):

We are coming to you live from the hospital in Pierre Payen. I believe this hospital is the first one located on the main road north of Port-au-Prince. It is currently treating patients from the earthquake so they are seeing a lot of fractures and head injuries. Bobi and I are here today helping a bit in the pharmacy. The medical team that came down on a donated corporate jet brought loads of supplies which Bobi has organized and now distributes as they are needed.

Everything in this area seems fairly normal. The search for fuel continues for everyone. Without fuel we cannot go get food or run the generators for power, so obviously it is something everyone here needs. One strange thing that I just noticed looking out the window is the sight of buses headed south without any people on them. Typically they are filled to capacity with people sitting on top. For now, and probably for the foreseeable future they will be full headed out of Port, but empty headed back.
