Sailed Through Day Two!

What a day it was!!  We finished ten GYN cases and four plastic cases without any problems and it was good.  We are so thankful and acknowledge God because we know that is where our strength and abilities come from. 

Yesterday evening, we had a severe burn patient that is thirty-nine years old.  Her name is Esperaza and she has epilepsy.  Last year, she fell into a fire when she had a seizure and she suffered severe burning and scaring of her chest, neck and face.  Such a horrible event for this young lady. Surgery was done to help regain some function of her neck movement.  Everyone has been concerned on how well she would do and we were pleased this morning that she continued to do well through the night.

Today, Nelson went for his surgery. He was the last of the babies that I brought with me and his mother has been patient.

Nelson and his mom immediately after surgery.  His surgery is being sponsored by Beverly and Doris.

We made rounds on all of the patients.  Santiago struck a pose for us again today.  He did well through the night after his palate repair yesterday.

Dilon and his mom did well through the night.

Brayon and his mom also did well.

The babies are not quite up to playing yet but it will not take long for them to recover.  They have been resting and eating cherry and grape popsicles.

I hope that everyone rests well tonight........patients, families and the surgical team.  Tomorrow will be another adventure.
