We told you last week about Ncobile, one of Lynda Bleazard's young patient's at the
Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Centre for Africa who desperately needed surgery. Here is her update:
"Dear Kevin,
hi there, greetings from the WSPCCA!
Little Ncobile had her surgery yesterday - the procedure is called: Pulmonary Artery Banding.
Dr Kinsley will close all the holes in her heart when she is older - possibly age 2.
Needless to say, her mum, Maureen, was very anxious throughout the operation but seeing her little girl and the remarkable recovery she is making has her smiling today!
Here are some photos of Ncobile. Note the "blue lips" prior to surgery.
She has already been removed from the life-support machines. She is hungry and is letting us know it!!
Enjoy!
Catch you later,
Lynda
