Baby Enoch

We are continuing to keep busy with Bangla language classes and the hospital project.  We are focusing on the electrical design right now since is not as far along as we had anticipated when we arrived.  This includes looking at each room and department and talking with hospital staff about what will be needed in the new hospital (equipment power requirements, outlets, lights, fans, etc.).  A lot of the medical equipment used at the hospital has been donated from outside of Bangladesh leading to a variety of North American, European, and UK plugs.  It gets particularly interesting in the labs and OR's.

Lots of technical stuff to talk about, but I think I will let baby Enoch steal the spotlight just like he did when he paid a visit during the staff tea time last week.

Enoch's mother died giving birth to him prematurely at home and he was sent to a Korean run orphanage in Chittagong.  He was then brought here to Memorial Christian Hospital (MCH) because he had pneumothorax (collapsed lung). It was very touch and go for a few days as various issues were encountered during treatment.  Thankfully he pulled through under the care of the hospital staff and has now gone back to the orphanage where he will be brought up and educated until he is an young adult.
