Zadok
Zimbabwe - Age 5
We caught up with a very jovial Zadok in the ward. As we played with him while he was drawing, Zadok burst into laughter. Please send him positive well-wishes that will make him smile. Zadok will soon be released from the ward. Please keep praying for his complete recovery. Thank you!
Zadok
Zimbabwe - Age 5
Zadok went to the OR first thing in the morning. The anesthesia team put him to sleep, and before the surgeons started surgery, they prayed. The OR team performed a procedure called Achilles tendon lengthening (ATL) on both feet. This aims to stretch the Achilles tendon, allowing Zadok to walk easily. After the surgery, Zadok was monitored by the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit), as can be seen in the picture. When he wakes up, he will be a step closer to his dream of being a soccer player! Please pray for him as he is now back in the ward recovering. Thank you for your continued generosity that has made his surgery possible.
Mthabisi
Zimbabwe - Age 11
Thank you for praying for Mthabisi's recovery. Mthabisi has recovered and has been cleared to go home. Before Mthabisi got discharged, the ward pastor, Method, gave him a few words of encouragement. Mthabisi smiled as he listened to the ward pastor, eager to share these words with his friends back home. Let us pray for his full recovery and wait for his return to the hospital for his review next week.
Mthabisi
Zimbabwe - Age 11
Mthabisi was as cheerful and happy as can be as he waited to be wheeled in the OR. When it was finally his turn, the medical team immediately got to work and performed a surgical procedure called Achilles tendon lengthening (ATL). This aims to stretch the Achilles tendon to allow a person to walk flat-footed. Once this was done, his left leg was wrapped in a cast to help keep the foot in an upright position as he heals. We are glad to tell you the news that Mthabisi's procedure went well and he is now back in the ward! Thank you for your generous gifts that have made his surgery possible. Please continue pray for his recovery.
