“Back Home” we have a problem
We wanted to write a thank you to all the people who have
been supporting us from “Back Home” in the States. Without your prayers and support our work here
would not be possible. Needs come up
that are impossible for us to deal with on our own from Nepal. Thankfully, every time we have needed
something, God has provided family and friends back home to help.
A special thanks to:
Our families.
My family has kept us in the loop and been there when I
couldn’t be as my Grandma Sally fell ill and then passed away a few days ago. It is really hard for us not to be
there. Kelly and Mom are always there
for us. Without my brother, Kyle, I
would not have been able to organize my medical license for our upcoming trip
to Zimbabwe. My dad has helped with
banking problems that could not be sorted from overseas. Reid and Lindsey for “Clifford the Big Red
Dog,” and other fun things for Win.
My in-laws, Tom, Diane, Natalie, and Gina, who have helped
us in so many ways. Draining and fixing
hot tubs in freezing weather with my uncle Dave. Picking up and dropping things all over
town. Thoughtful packages to lift our
spirits. Paying doctors and insurance
bills that come in 3 months after we’ve left.
Now running at the last minute to organize a drill that Diane will bring
to us to use during surgery on patients here in Nepal. Means so much to have you guys behind us.
Packages for us and folks at the hospital from: Erin Obrien,
Reid & Lindsey, Stephanie Labouliere, Diane, and Kelly Kramper. Dr. Pete Sanders for sending lectures to help
organize a musculoskeletal curriculum for the residents here at Tansen.
Surgical advice and help from Dr. Matt Putnam, Dr. Ann Van
Heest, Dr. Peter Cole, Dr. Brad Nelson, Dr. Pat Yoon, Dr. Jonathan Witzke, Dr.
Zirkle at SIGN.
Lance Ohara, the Bergers, Dave Stoy, and our neighbors, the
Bruno’s, for letting us not have to worry about our home while we are gone.
Bill and Dan at Arthrex for providing a tendon harvester and
suture anchors.
Martha Fick and The Good Samaritan Society, Karen Mangels
and Orphan Grain Train, and the many good folks at SIGN.
Besty Wehrwein, Dr. Gordy Aamoth, and the Minnesota Medical Foundation
International Scholarship. Laura
Berkstesser and the good people at Samaritan’s Purse.
Dr. David Hightower for lining up some work for me when I
get back.
Dr. Jim Lebret for medical consultation for my family. Dr Keenan and Zanfes for travel consults.
This list is not complete.
Thank you to everyone else whom we have forgotten. We could not be here
without you.
