Nine-year-old Nadine was one of the first children heading into surgery this morning.
Her father and aunt stayed by her side in pre-op, while her brothers are supporting her from the lobby. Nadine's family also brought along a framed photo of her mother, who has passed away, to give her a little extra strength before surgery — she's kept this on her hospital bed with her.
Today, Nadine is receiving a bone graft.
With four OR tables running, five groups of patients will cycle through surgery today. Every child will stay overnight in the hospital and, if all goes as planned, head home tomorrow.
It’s a busy day in Hermosillo — and we can’t wait to share more of the children’s stories with you.
