Recovery

Recovery room was the corridor outside the ORs. Matt, our paediatrician, is checking one of the children.

Judy and Roxana.


Karin and Judy with one of the older children. The children were gorgeous, cute as anything and mostly good at induction. A few simple phrases in Spanish were useful to reassure them and to tell them to take deep breaths or open their eyes during recovery. Unfortunately "ojos" and "ochos" are easily confused in Spanish and Matt Boulis, our pediatrician who worked recovery, was reknowned for repeatedly telling the kids to "open your eights".


Same child being softened up with toys by Cathy, Judy and Ethel.
