Monday in Montellano---Surgery Continues

These two mothers share the same dream of surgery for their children. Edison and his mom are on the left while Diego and his mom are on the right. Edison had surgery on Monday but Diego needed to wait until Wednesday. I will share more photos as I get them

This is Gregorio and his father. The live near in La Palma where we do clinics. Gregorio also needed to wait until Wednesday for surgery.
I am sure that waiting for two days on a child can be very difficult. He watched patients come and go through the unit but he and his father were very patient, never complaining.
While the medical staff were in the other area of the clinic, Sharron was working just has hard painting. She would paint some and then sit and concentrate on what next needed to be done. I did not see her take any breaks through the day..........she told me that this is the way she likes to paint.
With a closer view, you can see the photo that she is painting. It is of a family practice physician that was down to help. Here in the photo, many children are using his stethoscope to listen to his heart.........and he has a BIG one!! This photo is being painted in the dinning area of Clinica Ezell.
We ended the day praying for each patient by name. All of the patients have done well and we pray that they continue to improve.
