Day 3 — Discharges and More Surgeries - By Tracy Dailey

This morning, patients from yesterday’s surgeries were happily discharged home with new healing smiles and faces. Many left wearing handmade gowns and even newly decorated shoes. Their resilience after just one night was incredible to witness.

Today brought 7 more surgeries, along with a few additional adult cases that the surgical team graciously took on using local anesthesia. One of those patients was the caregiver of one of our pediatric patients earlier today, and her gratitude for the care she received today was deeply touching.

By day three, the team is working like a well-oiled machine. Each day we continue refining our process, allowing everything to run even more smoothly. It’s hard to believe it’s only day three — so much has been packed into each day in the very best ways.
