Cao Lanh, Vietnam:  The grateful mothers of these Interplast patients were much happier than their children, who were still pretty groggy from their surgeries. This is a common sight on Interplast trips. Even though we change children's lives, it is usually the parent who is grateful, while the post-op child is either groggy or cranky.
