Day 4 – More Discharges and Surgeries, Tracy Dailey

Today brought 7 more smiling families discharged home and 4 more facial surgeries completed. Our youngest patient was just 7 months old, and our oldest was 4 years old.

Watching each part of the team come together to care for these children has been incredible to witness. From the surgical waiting area, to the operating room, to PACU, and finally to the ward, every patient is carried through the day by so many caring hands across two very busy hospital floors.

What has impressed me most is the coordination happening behind the scenes. I’ve caught glimpses of the constant communication, schedule changes, and problem-solving required to keep everything moving smoothly—and I’m truly in awe of how gracefully this team navigates it all.

Each day continues to remind me how much compassion, teamwork, and dedication go into changing lives one surgery at a time.
