Day Five - Hello Mumbai


Cate and I spent the day relaxing. A tropical cyclone off the coast brought some unseasonal rain to Mumbai.

    So exciting to hear from you and see the wonderful things you are doing. And the dance class...unbelieveable! So happy for you both. Now you will get really busy with the SEE stuff. Good luck in India!
    Miss you but glad you are missing the terrible fires.

Day Six - Dance Class in Mumbai for Cate Cate attended a private dance class with Arpita Step Up Dance Acadmey  in Mumbai. Over two hours the amazing instructors taught her a traditional Indian dance and a Bollywood dance. Dance videos to come at a later date.  The drive to and from the dance lessons were a chance to see the local area. I've included a short video of a standard street scene. We catch a flight tomorrow to Siliguri,  India to get down to work. The real reason we are on this trip is to help people with correctable blindness.

Day Eight - Second Day of Surgery The second day started out with post operative (post op) examinations of the surgeries performed the previous day. The patients are lined up, as shown in the attached picture, waiting for reexamination of the results. Their family members are waiting with anticipation of the results in the hallway. All results were beautiful! Dr. Janal Shah examines the eye of a previously blind woman. The simple 20 minute surgery has restored her sight. Immediately following post op, the surgical team suited up for a second round of surgery. Today, the team conducted 32 cataract surgeries and one pterygium. Cate was busy helping the pros all day. Dr. Preeti Shah and her husband Dr. Janak Shah along with Dr. Olivia Dam made it look simple. Cate delivers antibiotics to the patient. Cate patches the eye of a patient after completion of the surgery.
