This morning little Jesimiel Lopez was scheduled to have a cleft lip repair. Nurse Sandy was helping him become familiar with the anesthesia mask. He was having such a good time blowing into the mask, she decided to pop her crazy star sunglasses on him. When anaesthesiologist Steve came in, he continued with the game, and started the flow of gas. Little Jesimiel Lopez was soon sound asleep, and plastic surgeon, Sib, started the repair. When he woke up, there was yet another changed smile in Cebu. (Photo by Sharron Newton)
