Well the lice situation seems to be under control. I had to do double takes of all the boys when I came on shift last night because most of them had their heads shaved yesterday while I was off 😆 It took me a minute to work out who was who!
We (the surgeons I should say) have finished all the scheduled plastic surgeries! So now I am mostly taking care of the kiddos as they wait to recover/let the skin grafts heal. It's pretty low key nursing- mostly making sure they have the right nutrition to improve wound healing. Every day we mix up a peanut butter drink with milk called Mana and they have to drink four cups a day. It kindof tastes like a peanut butter smoothie, so it's not terrible, but after 3 weeks of it, they are starting to get a little sick of it!
One of the favorite ward activities is to play bingo! I got the honor of being the bingo master last night. We call out the numbers in French, so it was good practice for me! The kids and especially their caregivers were very into the game. I introduced blackout bingo which was a little hard to explain (I couldn't find the translator at the time) but they eventually understood we were playing to cover the whole card. The rest of the time everyone just hangs out socializing or sitting around the computer screen watching cartoons.
