Babies Arrive for Surgery!

It was good to see everyone this morning at clinic.  We quickly cleaned and completed the morning tasks.  We prayed with the patients and their families and then started clinic.

I was not expecting any babies today but it was good to have them visit.  ASELSI, the clinic near my house had sent them over.  They participate in the milk program and ASELSI has always been supportive of the babies that need surgery.

Bryan came in with his mom and dad.  We saw him earlier this year but he was a little underweight.  Now, he is big and healthy!

Bryan's dad was also with us today.  I explained the process to them and what they can expect to happen.  They will return in a few weeks and we will do all of the lab work that is required.

This guy is Nelson.....................and he is an active child!  He jumped up and down the whole consult on his mother's lap!  He had a little stage fright at first but then he warmed up to the camera.

These are Nelson's parents and they are looking forward to going to Montellano.

I will see all of the children in December and then they will return with their lab work the first week in January.  Then we will all head to Clinica Ezell for a week of surgery.  It seems like a long way off but it is not! I hope to see a few more babies in December.
