Solimar is waiting in the holding area. For her, going to the operating room is almost a routine, at only 7 years of age, she has already had 6 operations on her cleft palate. Since she lives on the Atlantic coast, it is a long way to get to the hospital, one day by horse and another by bus. Still, she takes it easy and looks forward to getting over with this next operation.
