waiting their turn
September 24, 2008 by Jeremy
Hevi, Shawna, Kale and Sara- four young girls bonded by a very unique, but shared experience. Four hearts, all with different defects, coming from Iraq, holding out hope. All four of them have had all of their preliminary medical tests done and are ready and waiting for their heart surgeries. With a few surgeons gone right now and other children on the list ahead of them, it could still be a few weeks before their turn comes. And when you’re 12 and 8 years old, waiting is hard- especially when they’re away from their home country and their families- and they’re anticipating this very life changing event.
Many thanks to our partner organization who takes such great care of these kids and their parents during these long waiting times. We’ll keep all of you in the loop as these girls head on into surgery in the coming weeks. You’re part of this with them. Thank you.
