Actions Log 12/23/10
3 furniture deliveries are made for former MH clients before noon.
We separated our volunteer help into two groups to be able to make deliveries and to be able to respond to West Akron family in crisis. They had been in the house for 4 months in survival mode. Mom thought she was "overdue" with baby.
Assessed conditions of family in West Akron:
By 7:30pm we had mom in triage at Summa Hospital. Outcome was that mom was not overdue and her water had not broken as she had assumed. This is imperative information because it allows us to understand that mom is making decisions daily out of panic, fear and crisis mode.
We began day one at 7:30am and finished with both objectives being met by 11pm that evening.
Interesting note: Address of new relief household was 911.
