Happy St. Patrick's Day! Even though we are in Guatemala we decided to decorate the break room and some of our doctors and staff even wore St. Patrick's Day scrubs. The patients and hospital staff loved the colors and hearing about St. Patrick's Day.

I would like to end the day with an update on Alison!

Alison did amazingly well both during and after surgery. In fact she was in such good spirits that she asked to have her sunglasses put back on and her Jorge, her stuffed animal, to give hugs to! You are awesome Alison and extremely brave!!
