Arjwan is a cute four-year-old girl from Yatta, near Hebron. She came to Sheba Medical Center today with both her parents to see the doctors and prepare for a vocal cord surgery scheduled for tomorrow. As we waited to meet the doctor Arjwan was walking around the waiting room and all the Israeli people were enchanted by the sight of this adorable little girl sweetly saying “Shalom,”and touching their hands. She made the whole room smile and laugh. It was a beautiful moment for people who are struggling with bad health issues to have a laugh and feel lighthearted. I am sure that Arjwan’s presence made everyone’s day much better and brighter.
She is awaiting her last in a series of three surgeries to reconfigure her heart, which had only one ventricle. This surgery is the Fontan procedure. Please pray that Arjwan’s upcoming surgery tomorrow will be a great success and she recovers quickly. Pray also for her parents who have given their all to see their little girl healed.
