Our first case this morning was 3 1/2 year old Shylian. Dressed in her little jean dress with colorful bands decorating her hair, she eagerly awaited our arrival to the hospital. According to her mom she woke up this morning and said “I want to go to the hospital now and have my operation”. The doctors performed a frenulum release because she was having difficulty with correct movement and use of her tongue. The surgery was quick and upon waking up in the PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) she decorated her hands, knees and face with stickers. What a delight! Upon leaving to go home, she said “gracias” and gave us kisses. A great end to a long but productive week. Now its off to Vilcambamba for a little team relaxation.

Just a quick e-mail to say that this is amazing work! I am currently living in Quito and know about the situation in healthcare. It is poor!
This is the kind of work that will give the unfortunate a chance to a better life!
