Ok, sorry its been a while. So as I said, I took an advanced course with MDA this past week or so. I did the 88 hour course and the course Natan which is the ICU course. I learned how to prepare meds to give in IVs, learned how to do an IV, how to deliver babies, and much more. I passed the course, and can now do all of this when working on the ambulance. I am really excited to get to expand my skills on the ambulance.
Yesterday, we had a seminar again for my program and we learned about the disengagement. After that, we ended the day with the MASA Mega Event. This is a celebration for all the Israel long term programs including my program. They took us to the Latrun armored corps location, and we had the Prime Minister speak to us, and bands performed, they had fireworks and much more. It was so much fun. My mom has access to all of these pictures if anyone would like to see.
It is almost 4 months already that I have been here in Israel, and time has flown by. I am now living in a different apartment with one of my friends from the program. Her name is Nadine, and she is from New Jersey. We get along great, and I am so happy to be living with her. I will keep updating more often now that my courses are over.
Miss you and love you all!

YAY for delivering babies, starting IVs and pushing meds. my question for you now however is what does all that do for you when you come back here?
I believe in you and glad you are doing so well there, Suzanne and I can't wait til you're back :-)
Love,
Adam and Suzanne
Yay,four months down, only 2 to go. Can't wait till you are back home. I know you are having a wonderul experience, but we miss you too much.
Your class sounds like it was wonderful. The thing that stands out with me, is starting IV's, and withdrawing blood. More than half the plebotmists cannot hit a vein on their first try..PAIN! Sometimes after they insert the needle to withdraw blood, if they have not exactly hit the vein, they start poking around the needle trying to "catch" the vein... PAIN!
I can't believe four months have gone by. I bet you wouldn't change the experience for anything.
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and the kids were all over, as well as Aneida's parents. It was a lovely day. Your parents didn't show as they had just gotten home from the mountains and were too tired.
