It was a big day for three-year-old Naya of Ramallah. With a big smile she went in for her third and final heart surgery early this morning. I waited with her anxious mother, then about noon Naya’s father arrived. Understandably, they were both very concerned for their little daughter. Much to all our relief, an Arab Israeli doctor appeared after about six hours to tell us the surgery went well. From beginning to end, we waited seven hours for Naya to emerge from the operating room doors.
She looked really good because she wasn’t attached to many machines, a comforting sight for us all. Pray for Naya to recover quickly and be completely healed.
