Surgical Training

After several months of operating at Kijabe, I am starting to feel comfortable with the setup, the equipment, and the process. I have made a few videos during operations so you all can see what it’s like. Enjoy 🙂 This week, I performed my second combination case with Dr. Benjamin Mutiso at AIC-Kijabe Hospital. ProvidingContinueContinue reading “Surgical Training”

Clinical Work

It has taken a while to figure out how I feel about the hospital; I’m sure my opinion will continue to evolve. But you might be curious and maybe the process of writing about it will bring my own views into clarity. Providing any type of patient care in this country is not an easyContinueContinue reading “Clinical Work”

February Update

This February is nothing like we have experienced before. We traded in sledding and hot cocoa for a high of 80° and endless sunshine. We’ve had lots of new experiences in the past couple on months. Henry lost his first tooth and found out the tooth fairy does come to Kenya. Grace has become very brave and independent, insisting on hiking on her own instead of being carried and going down even the steepest of slides at every playground we visit. Owen loves to talk to everyone, he wants to greet every person we meet in both English and Swahili and is quick to strike up conversations.

4 months in Kenya!

We are quickly approaching the 4 month mark here in Kenya! We made a short video about the move and settling in, which you can view below. Overall, we had a pretty smooth introduction to Kenyan living.

1 month in

We have survived a month in Kenya! Actually, Kijabe is a very comfortable place to live, with great scenery, good internet, and a temperate climate. The transition is still ongoing, but at least at this point the children are sleeping at night and eating regular meals. We started Swahili classes a few weeks ago withContinueContinue reading “1 month in”

We’ve Arrived

Greetings from Kenya, By the Lord’s grace, we successfully made it to Kijabe! Last Wednesday we piled into the car, caravanned to the airport with our families, and overwhelmed a few airline check-in workers. Thanks so much for giving us a great send-off. We had short layovers at each airport, no flight delays, and noContinueContinue reading “We’ve Arrived”

PreField

Greetings from Boone, North Carolina. We are in the midst of PreField Orientation here at Samaritan’s Purse HQ. We’ve heard from veteran missionaries, doctors, pastors, a psychologist, and the current and prior CEO of the Christian Medical and Dental Association. After a few moving days of stories from missionaries, we transitioned to an intensive 2ContinueContinue reading “PreField”

March Update

Things are starting to happen! First off, the kids’ passports arrived. It took two days for the boys to get over the need to carry them around at all times. Our visa and work applications have been submitted to the Kenyan government. Apparently the medical license person at Kijabe is out on leave right now,ContinueContinue reading “March Update”

Welcome to our Life

Thanks for coming. My name is Bryce, and I’m an otolaryngologist. My family is about to make a big change.
