The team had another busy day in the operating rooms. They operated on a 25-year-old girl who had not one, but TWO 25-30 lb tumors in her abdomen. Yesterday was a 14-year-old girl with one 25-30 lb tumor. Also on the docket today was a woman with a precancerous lump in her gall bladder AND a hernia. And, of course, a few other surgeries.
We weren't sure if the team was going to operate tomorrow or not, but a few more people turned up that they want to help, so they're going to operate in the morning instead of relaxing and getting ready to leave.
In other news, Heidi was at the Hospital Buen Samaritano today and ended up bringing one patient back for the team to examine and referred another to be operated on.
And, so here are some more team pics... The last one is of the 14 year old patient the team operated on yesterday along with the doll they gave her.

What a day!! Someday you will have to answer that you were in surgery when the earthquake hit in Guatemala.
Your team has been a blessing to many this week. Thank them for their kind and generous hearts and willingness to share their talents.
God bless them with safe travels.
Good to see Matt is a photo.
Love you, Mom
Glad to know you are okay. I know Goran and Jubilee from the Fidelis Sunday school class in Houston, Texas. We were worried when we heard about the earthquake. We'll keep you and the wonderful work you do in our prayers.
