Hello England, Me and Laura did not sleep very well last night went to bed early like good girls ready for the week ahead and got waken up and stupid o'clock by some dogs next door barking. Then barking to the whole dog population in Nepal it sounded like, so apogilises if this is short and gumpy!ha ha........ So we had our second shift on SCBU today and this time we got stuck in straight away, cuddling the crying babies and even cup fed them which was an experience, using these small metal cups with spouts and slowly letting them suck on the milk flowing. So cute, we also helped a little bit more today and changed a few dirty nappies! Meet one of the sisters in charge of SCBU who is coming to our presentation tomorrow which makes us even more nervous. We found it very hot in the intensive care part with all the equipment which I suppose gets some getting used too. But loved our last shift on SCBU watching the nurses hard at work, bathing the each baby, then cup feeding, placing cannulas in their tiny hands so carefully, it has been a wonderful experience with again some lovely,helpful and kind staff and some very very cute beautiful Nepalise babies and mothers.
This afternoon were off to visit Bhaktapur the third major town of the valley, traffic free , the traditionally intact town is also in many ways the most timeless! Will let you know soon how it was and if we get lost!ha ha, goodbye for now England, Take care, can you believe only two more weeks left of our trip and then no more blogs:(
love Laura and Sam x
