During our surgical screening in Ganta, we saw Jonathan, 3 ½ years old, who had a severe head wound which will require daily dressing changes until he comes with his father James to Monrovia for plastic surgery. Steven, the nurse, did his dressing change for that day and I just sat with Jonathan and kept praying and saying ‘you are a brave boy’ as I could sense that is was very painful – allowing him to squeeze my finger when it hurt, like my Mom did with me when I was young.
