On the second day, little Ritha continues to rest as Haydar came next to him in the ICU after another successful heart operation.
The local male nurses in the ICU gave in to Ritha and let him play with a giraffe stuffed animal. At first they told me he should be playing with something more “manly”, like a dog!
Who wants to send us over some manly toys? (They’re for the kids. We promise.)
Thanks to those manly ICU nurses, Ahmed’s on schedule to be out of the ICU in less in than 24 hours! Check back on Ahmed!
