Today, we had clinic in Lemoa. Ana was with us for the first time after her maternity leave and it was nice to see her again. She hit the door and was ready to roll!
It was time for all of the babies to return after their surgery. I am pleased to announce that everyone did great! There were no fevers or any signs of infection.........and I was not expecting any!
This is Rodelfo, who had a frenectomy and he is doing great! He wanted to show me the hood on his jacket.............
and then we got another view. His mom told me that he is talking better and has not had any pain. Jean sponsored this surgery and was in Montellano to meet Rodelfo and his mom. I met Rodelfo's dad and sister today and they are a very nice family.
This is Jefferson and he had his cleft lip-repaired. Susan and Lyn were also in Montellano during the week of the surgery and they took care of this expense. His parents are very appreciative.
Hilda actually smiled today and that is unusual for her. Jessie and Don sponsored her surgery and she is doing great!
Hilda's parents are are really a great couple and Hilda even had a little clapping action going on today!
This is Hilda, about 6 months old before her two surgeries.
This is Javier today and he also was wonderful. His surgery was sponsored by Ginny and Jack.
This is Javier at 5 months old before he had his two surgeries........a very handsome, little boy!
This is Victor, the baby that stole the hearts of everyone in Montellano. His poor mom could hardly hold him during the week. His surgery went fantastic, without any problems.
This is Victor today and he is a cutie! His surgery was sponsored by the Mt. Vernon High School Spanish Class. We will see Victor next year to help him get his palate surgery done.
This is Milton today and his surgery was sponsored by Beverly and Doris.
This photo is of Milton at about four months old before he had his two surgeries. He is always very content.
Here we have Sheila. This poor child screams as soon as she sees me. I gave her time to calm down and then I found her mom walking around the clinic. I came up from behind before she thought to scream.. Sheila's surgery was sponsored by Angie
This is Sheila last year before her two surgeries.
It is just a pleasure to see the children return after surgery, to know that they are healing well and that the parents are so very appreciative. A special thanks to everyone who sponsored a child. Also, to ASELSI and Solomon's Porch for helping with the transportation to Montellano. It was a busy week but everyone did great and we are so thankful for each one that participated. May God continue to bless you richly!
