sunday was a wonderful day of relaxation. the hotel gave us their beach house for the day so we played in the ocean and napped in the hammocks, it was wonderful!!!
monday was our first day of surgeries and it was so very busy. we had 4 surgeries scheduled but their were complications with the 3rd that caused him to have to go back to surgery so we had to postpone the last surgery. i am happy to say that juan, lester and eduardo are all doing well. lester is out of the icu and juan and eduardo should be able to leave tomorrow.
today we had three surgeries scheduled and dora was first. dora was on our surgery schedule last year but we were unable to operate on her due to how sick she was and the limited amount of time we had. we were all so heartbroken that we weren't able to do her surgery so we made sure we got her done early this year. dora is very sick and had to have a big surgery but i'm so excited to report that she is doing well. she was still pretty sleepy from her surgery but she was stable and doing great. sonia was our second case of the day. she was having some rhythm issues when we left for the evening but nothing unusal or critical. the last surgery was still going when i left but from everything i've heard things are going well.
there have also been many caths done. i don't know they exact number but i do know they are all doing well.
prayer request:

prayer request:
- it's only the second day and we are all exhausted. the kids, although stable now, have been very sick and requiring a lot of care. pray that we as a team have the strength and energy we need to take care of these precious children. we also seem to be running out of supplies. at the end of the second day there are already lots of things we are completely out of. so far we seem to be finding ways to make it just continue to pray that god will provide what we need
- the kids:pray that each surgery goes well and the recovery time is short. pray that god would wrap his arms around each patient and their family and comfort them
- once again we have screened more patients and had to tell the family that there was nothing we could do for their child. i can't imagine how it would feel to know that your child would not make it much longer, please pray for these children and their families
