Friday was our first day off. It was a productive week, with surgeries, presentations and PICC insertions. We were received very warmly from our hosts at both hospitals. Today, Tien and Tim had to return to the Cho Ray hospital to check an x-ray on a PICC patient who's line had to re-adjusted. This is a normal part of the PICC placement process. All was good. Rick and Pat took in a little shopping in the local stores and took a trip to Ho Chi Minh Museum. This was interesting, much about the Vietnam War era.
These photos are from an amazing dinner outside in a rain storm with Rick's son Brad his fiancee Lisa and Tracy our translator. We greatly enjoyed Brad and Lisa's company! Tracy took such great care of us, by keeping our belongings in tow, when we were involved in patient care or doing our presentations. Thanks to Tien who has so many wonderful connections in Saigon to family and friends. Good Bye Tracy-- you took such good care of us! When we could not communicate.
It was great fun at dinner--it felt like eating under a tent at the State Fair. The Vietnamese food is fabulous and healthy!!!
