I visited Montaser and his mother at Sheba Hospital today. They seemed fine and in decent spirits.
Right away the little boy’s mother asked me if I could find some chocolate or chips for him. I happily made my way down to the cafe and bought him a bag of chips and a chocolate bar.
As I handed off these little treasures to the little boy, his face lit up. My heart filled with joy to see the simple pleasures of chocolate fill a child’s spirits with so much joy.
After a room change and a visit from the dermatologist with nothing concerning to report from his rash that had recently appeared, mother and child seemed more relaxed and comfortable.
Surgery is still scheduled for next week. Montaser is still being monitored as he is struggling with vomit yet still has a hearty appetite. Still waiting on dentist to check his teeth.
