It was the morning that Victor would have his surgery. I was documenting vital signs on all of the kids, when I heard an "Emily." Victor wanted to show me the coloring book page that he had just colored. He was so very proud. This fun went on all morning. Victor was very chatty with me and full of hugs.Victor left for the OR (operating room). His mother waited patiently. When Victor's mother heard that Victor was ready to return to the pediatrics room, she skipped out of the room with excitement. Their reunion was heartwarming. Victor's mother cried as she and Victor left the hospital. So very happy, they hugged nearly the entire team goodbye.
Emily Berglund served as a pediatric nurse in Quetzaltenango, April 2008.
