February Babies are Great!

I met the babies in Montellano when I arrived with the team. I was very thankful that their travel was  without any problems.

Some of the surgeons left Guatemala City early in the morning, so when we arrived, the consults were finished.  I found out that Dilon had been sick but we hoped that with a few days of medication on board, he would turn around and be ready on Tuesday.

This is Brayon and his mom, after they arrived.  She told me that they have been doing well and Brayon had not been sick. His surgery is being sponsored by Angie from Morganton, NC.

Brayon and his mom were ready for surgery. Katy is making rounds to be sure everyone is ready.

After surgery, Brayon rested well.

Nelson arrived and was playful.  His mom told me that Nelson had been doing real well.

Nelson slept as his mother waited for Katy to come and see him.

The surgery went well and was sponsored by Beverly and Wayne from Lenoir, NC.

After surgery, Nelson slept and did not have any problems.

Dilon seemed to feel better but there was still a risk that we did not need to take.  He still had a fever for portions of the day and not too much of an appetite. It was decided to wait until August to do his palate surgery. We were disappointed but no need to take a risk. Dilon looks as if he too is disappointed.

I slipped in for a quick photo before Dilon and his parents headed home.  I let Jaime know so she could tell Ava about the postponed surgery.  We will see Dilon again in August.

The babies were seen post-op in Lemoa and they are doing fine...............many thanks to the surgical team and to those who sponsored the surgeries.
