Fun time with Needles!

It's OK! I'm wilderness first aid certified! Last week we took the NOLS WFA class, and got to learn how to give each other shots, and IVs...pure craziness. I don't like shots, and I certainly did not want someone putting saline into my veins, but I took one for the team. IVs hurt. I have a bruise inside my elbow from it. My eyes welled up with tears...but it's all over now. We are not going to get sick on Laysan, woot!

Getting the bag ready...


Giving Amarisa an IV:


Success, on the first attempt!


My poor arm...


Gretchen did a good job putting the IV in my arm, gooooo Ladies of Laysan!


Relief!

SPAM JAM!!! To raise money and get food for the Hawaii food bank:


Is this the biggest Aloha shirt you've ever seen??
