Day 7 - Final Day in Guatemala

We woke up and again headed over to the hospital. A group of Jessica P, Jessica K, Jim, Lauren, Freddy, and I worked on a few vitals monitors checking the ECG, spO2, and blood pressure functions using simulators. After lunch Lauren, Sung, Maria Jose, and I tested some defibrillators in the adult OR. We then headed back to the Nazarene center where we cleaned up and got ready for dinner. The food was amazing! It was tough to say our goodbyes to Maria Jose, Dean White, and Sophia (Maria Jose's daughter), but we got back in the bus and headed back to the nazarene center for the night, dreading waking up at 4:30 the next morning for our flight home.
