We are now on operation day 3!! One of our first patients gave us the peace sign right before she went in for surgery so I decided that the theme today should something that is a universal wish for all- PEACE – শান্তি

Let’s meet that special person that motivated today’s theme.

Meet Sabrina

Sabrina is four years old. She travelled with her family for three hours by taxi to meet with us on clinic day. Sabrina has had two prior surgeries to repair a cleft lip and today she will be having surgery to repair a cleft palate.

Sabrina’s operation went very well!! Here she is after surgery being comforted by Nurse Kim in the PACU.

I just checked in on Sabrina in the recovery ward and her mom told me that she is doing great! In fact, just to prove that she was doing well Sabrina flashed her famous pose for my camera!! You are awesome Sabrina!!
