Hospital day Five

This morning I spent some time in the tents and then went to the post op area to take some pictures. I got a few more pointers from C about how to use the light and change the setting on my camera. She has been so sweet to take the time to teach me. I really have learned so much in the very few days I have had lessons! After the morning rounds I went back to the hospital to pack up the boxes we brought. There was alot of packing and action as everyone was trying to make sure they had all the tools and instruments they came with. Many things were left for the hospital to use later. We managed to empty one whole box. It was needed to ensure we had room to pack stuff for the trip home. The goods that Doc was going to shop for.

We said our goodbyes and hugs went around and then we loaded onto the bus and headed back to CICM. We got there and ate lunch and then it was back to our rooms to continue packing. We finished packing up and then went down to the entry to wait for our departure. The kids were all out there to greet us and gave us hand made cards. They were so fascinated with the monkey that A had brought along. He was stuffed and laughed as he spun around his tail in circles. A few of the kids were sitting on the couches looking at pictures on iphones and computers. It was a nice way to spend the last few minutes there. Then we loaded onto the bus and headed to the Train station. We got loaded onto the train and we split up into two different groups. One group was heading straight to Delhi for shopping and one group to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal. I was in the group that was going to the Taj. There ended up being 11 of us. We would arrive at the Agra station by about 4:45 am.
