Champagne Tap!!!!

Bonjour mes amis!! I miss everyone terribly but I just had the sweetest doctor in training moment-- a champagne tap (for non-medical people this is when you get spinal fluid from the back without introducing blood into the sample) on a screaming, writhing meningitic 5 year old in perhaps less than sterile conditions. It feels good, oh yes it feels good.

I will write about this at another time, but we American ladies also had a great weekend at the beach outside Libreville. So nice to get away to a tiny beach town, not unlike the Oregon coast, unwind, drink some GinTonic (deja pre-mixed!), and get away from the hospital. Love it. Off to celebrate my success, more about the weekend soon.
