One More Wonderful Day!

Another wonderful day with patients, families, the Guatemalan staff and our team.  Happy Valaentine's Day to everyone!

We finished the day with nine GYN cases and three plastic cases.

This is Yefery.  He had a motorcycle accident a few years ago that damaged to his nose and created difficulty in breathing.  Dr. Philip helped Yefery and he is so very thankful.  He likes being with us.  He had the option of going home on Monday and he opted to stay until tomorrow when the vans return for the babies.  He is a really good guy and it has been a pleasure to help him!

This is Bryan sleeping right after breakfast. This is his second post-op day.

Nelson's mom stepped outside so his father stayed with him a little this morning.  This is Nelson's first post-op day and he is doing well.  Notice the wisps of his hair due to the fan action!

Dilon continues to do well on his second post-op day.  His parents are still very excited for this opportunity.

Today Santiago was not a happy baby.  I tried to get a photo of him but could never catch him at a good time.  I will try again tomorrow.

The babies will be discharged in the morning.  The drivers know to come and pick them up.  They will receive their discharge teaching and have a follow-up appointment with us in Lemoa on March 5th.

It has been a great week thus far and I believe that tomorrow will be the same.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for all of our patients. God has been with us every day.
