Hospital construction update








The hospital room we are refurbishing is almost done! They painted the doors and re-installed the air conditioner in a new location today. Now, I think, the only thing left is to install new faucet and drain in the sink, and simply cleaning.
We were also able to get a peice of equipment working that had remained idle since it was purchased: the hospital has a baby warmer that was purchased from India. The equipment had an electrical plug that did not fit any socket. I had been trying to find some kind of adapter, with no luck. Terri (brilliant as ever) discovered the the plug was removable, and that the part that attached to the equipment was the same as a computer! So, she found a computer plug, and it worked perfectly. They now have a working baby warmer that automatically moniters a baby's temperature, and uses a heat lamp to keep the baby warm.

We found some beautiful window covering for the windows inside the hospital (there are a lot of windows inside the building, most of which are covered by paper of some kind).

Hopefully next week the room will be back in use by the patients.
