I am going on the trip of a lifetime in a few days: a medical mission to Peru. I will be the only pediatrician there. I am delighted beyond words and scared to death. I have anticipated this trip for years...have actually scheduled it and had to cancel, and now it looks like it is finally going to happen. I am almost afraid to believe it.
So, typical me, I have not packed. I have obtained a lot of stuff to pack, but the actual packing is still to be done. I hope that I have arranged for all the child/pet care, but I still need to make extra house keys and write everything down. I have gotten the necessary prescriptions, but have not filled them yet. I am on the edge, and almost...almost ready to take the plunge.
I somehow feel that this is going to be one of the most important things I do in my life. We are anticipating seeing 700-1000 patients in 3 days. That in and of itself will be miraculous. I just pray that we are able to give back at least half of what we receive. From my one and only other mission trip I know that I will be humbled and blessed beyond belief.
