Martha is returning home. Her back is now wonderful, the extreme lateral bend in her
spine and hump in her back have disappeared. Her last, very complicated, operation has been a success.
Martha has been in the very best hands, the medical team of
the Children’s Trauma Clinic at Son Espases Hospital, the children’s
neurosurgeon and the many other professionals from other medical specialties. Many have given everything for her,
without ever looking back, until this young girl could have the possibility for
a normal life, a future.
Martha wants to be a doctor and has experienced some
excellent examples during her stay.
We want to give our thanks to this medical team, to the untiring and
very professional Dr Sanpera who led the team (we certainly bring him nearly
impossible cases), to the nurses and auxiliary staff who have treated Martha
like a queen during her stay in hospital.
To bring children over to be operated is not complicated
from a legal perspective but for us it almost becomes a life long commitment as
we continue to follow their progress when they return to their own
countries. And lucky that we
do, as for Martha this is the third time that we have brought her over to be
operated and we very much hope it will be the last time that it is
necessary. Martha will have to
wear her corset during the day for the next three months in order to avoid complications. Today is a happy day.
We don’t want to forget to thank our magnificent group of
volunteers who visited Martha in hospital and accompanied her and her brother
Mesfin, and to the wonderful family who welcomed them into their home and
looked after them the times they were out of hospital.
