This morning, HSO responsibility was formally handed over by Dr Felipe Broering, MD, to Adam Rehnberg, Swedish Army trained ambulance crew commander, who will fill the function as HSO for the remainder of the mission.

One crewmember is still suffering from sore throat and nasal congestion, but he is recovering and is fulfilling his duties to the best of his abilities. As for now, the crewmember will continue with medication as ordered by Dr Broering.

No more rodents or spiders have been noted since the last report. Additional mousetraps were placed last night, under the kitchen counter.

Todays excursion to Salt Lake City was an enjoyable trip and as a result crew morale is high. The trip also allowed us to pick up cleaning supplies to deal with the state of the lower floor of the Hab, as this area is currently in an unsanitary state and needs to be dealed with promptly.
