Surgery

Holly experienced her first Surgeries here in Bangladesh last week. Thankfully she was not under the anesthesia herself, only a passive observer. I know for myself I am a bit skirmish with the cutting, pulling, blood, etc. during surgery, but Holly seemed to be right into it.

She was able to view an appendix being removed laparoscopically and this one month old baby having the valve between his esophagus and stomach repaired so that he can be able to eat on his own.
