Catch-up on baby's surgeries

I was not able to stay the other week when the baby's had their surgery in Clinica Ezell. The physicians, nurses and other visitors do a tremendous service when they come to give care for the patients. Each week of surgery specializes in an specific type of surgery and this week was the plastic cases. There were two babies from the Panajachel scheduled for surgery.

Hefer was not excited about his photo being taken. He is here this week to have his palate repaired. Jim, Judy, David and Michele are sponsoring the surgery for Hefer.

Nancy L. helped me by getting photos and Hefer did not want any part of it.

The babies usually spend 2-3 nights at the clinic before they return home. Hefer is ready do go home! He has had enough excitement.

This is Hector and he has a double cleft palate that will be repaired.

This is Hector after his surgery. This was an exciting week because the sponsor for Hector, Nancy B., was able to spend time with Hector and his mother.

Hector is almost ready to go home. This is Nancy L. and all of these photos are from her. Thank you, Nancy L.!!

All of the children did well and were sent home on time. Thank you Jim, Judy, David, Michele and Nancy B. for helping change the life of each child.

The children will return to Lemoa for a post-op consult on Feb. 21........stay tuned!
