When I last saw Hena three days ago at Sheba hospital, she was just out of surgery, still intubated and under anesthesia.
What a change this morning, when coworker Alena and I found her wide awake and ready to play! She is now extubated, and her uncle told us she is smiling, playing, and very happy. Sure enough, she was happy to play peekaboo with her blanket, and it was so good to see her beautiful smile again.
Now that her breathing tube is removed and she is recovering quite well, Hena will likely be moved out of the ICU to the pediatric ward soon. Thank God for her recovery, and please pray that her follow up echo will show good results!
