I have just read all your comments. Thanks to all for saying hi. Teddy, I think we have enough bubbles¡ I gave away Mr. Potato Head today and I will find a good home for Mrs. Potato Head tomorrow.
At the hospital I am chaperoning 2 high school students. They give presentations to the parents of the children having surgery. They tell them about basic health, nutrtion, dental care and burn care. We all went in to observe different surgeries. It was really interesting to see how they repair the cleft lips. I thought there would be more blood or I would get sick and have to leave. But, I even surprised myself and watched the whole procedure. One of the high school students didn't like watching the surgery, but the other student loved it and she plans to go in and observe another surgery before we leave. Say hello to Rosalina, Emily, and Salena and I will see everybody when I get back. I can't put any photos on my blog because I don't have Mrs. Hrabik here in Jordan to help me with my computer skills. Thanks for all your comments!
Grade 5 says Hi! How did the children like the toys? Did it make them feel better? Did you ask if they can send pictures. Are the surgeries fun to watch? Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Can you change the background for your blog. It is very difficult to read the words. Or maybe you can make the color of the words different. (Advice from 5th grade).
Are the girls you are traveling with local? I think it would be great to give the presentation they give to the parents to the sixth grade. I am having them research Operation Smiles and cleft palates in depth. What do you think?

P.S. The blog is easier to read now that you have the black background behind the words!!
ReplyDeleteRyan E-H says hi! Max says for the children to get better.
ReplyDeleteThe web site it back to being hard to read. You would be better off without the background.
Jaela says Hi and wonders how the surgeries are going. She also wants to know how many children have been operated on since the first Operation Smiles Mission.
