Update 1

I was able to secure an arrival time in Port Au Prince for tomorrow morning at 09 40 z, which translates to 1:40 am PST. It'll be early for the team, but I am very grateful they are now have a landing code and will be landing in Port Au Prince. That will allow Michael to work for four days on the ground with the team.

Medical Teams International has been an incredible organization to work with. They have had good communication with the team and me and are organized within a chaotic situation. If you are still wanting to help Haitians financially, they are a good one to donate to. There disaster response to this situation is going to be expensive. Already, I'm helping coordinate what the current MTI teams in Haiti need to be bought and brought into country for them to continue providing medical aid. The list is very long and has very expensive items on it. Click here for the link to their donation site.
