Full Day of Surgeries!

The OR cranked up early this morning and ran pretty much non-stop all day.

Aida had the good news that she was able to go home.  This is Aida and her father before she was discharged.

Dr. Dwayne came to see her one more time before they left.  They are very thankful for the surgery and also very thankful to Ava for her support.  I will see Aida on March 5th, when she comes for her post-op visit.

First out of the operating room this morning was Dilon.  When Dilon's mom and dad first saw him, they were so excited!  Tamera and Dr. Michael brought Dilon out and mom and dad were in awe!

Dilon was placed in his mother's arms and slept for a short time.

The swelling and bruising is normal but in a week will look so much better.

Brayon kept us entertained before his surgery.  He had quite an audiencee as he was waiting to be taken back to the operating room.

Brandon and Dilon have won the hearts of the staff this week!

When Brayon came out of surgery, he was very restless.........but after some medicine, he was able to rest better.

We will be sore and uncomfortable for a few days but he will heal quickly and then be back to playing!

When Santiago's grandmother told him that we wanted to take a photo of him, his two thumbs popped up and he struck a pose for us. Everyone went to grab their camera to capture the moment!

Santiago was very sleepy after surgery so he stayed in the recovery area a little longer than usual.  He then woke up and did well.

Nelson and his mom had a rather boring day.  He will have surgery in the morning so today was just a waiting game for them.

We are so thankful that all of the surgeries went well today.  To God, we give all the glory and praise.

Tomorrow, we will start early and have fourteen surgeries planned.
