The surgical team was able to help a woman who was attacked by machetes and left for dead. They were able to perform numerous scar revisions and repair her ear. However, her chief complaint related to the pain she felt in her jaw and her mismatched bite. Unfortunately, we did not have the equipment (or time) to resolve this. But when she returned on Monday for follow-up, she informed the doctors that after the surgery her pain was gone and she now had a proper bite. The doctors shared with her that they did not do it. It was the Great Physician who healed her, using the intubation process & opening her jaw so wide along with whatever else Christ did.There were a total of 22 cases treated today that included: tubes for ears; ear lobe repair; tongue repair; tonsillectomies; scar revisions; cleft palate & cleft lip repairs; fixing noses so that people can breath; tumor, cyst & breast mass removal; excision of a lip lesion; and a tear duct repair.
Also, the surgery team arrived at the hospital and enjoyed hearing the children in the school yard across the street singing in both English and Spanish.
