Anisha after surgery!

We came over to the hospital this morning with anticipation. What would Anisha look like today. She went into surgery yesterday afternoon and her mother and father were so anxious.

In the post-op room we saw her - and her parent were beaming. What a transformation. Where there had been a gaping hole was a beautiful new smile. We talked with them all and then Anisha's mother dictated a letter to our translator because neither mom or dad can read or write. Wow, what a letter they wrote. I'll share it later, but I can tell you it is a gift.

The little family gathered their belonging, said their goodbyes, walked to the hospital gates and disappeared into the throngs of humanity that is India. We wish them all the best, but I am confident that their lives will be so much better starting today.
