It’s been three months now and we’d like to tell you about what’s been going on lately at Yayasan Senyum Bali. Just a quick review from the last Senyum Update, we had three patients return from Adelaide, Nyoman Mangku, Sapirah and Zaetun Eni.
Sapirah has had her first operation for face reconstruction and is now waiting for the second one, which hopefully will be done within the next six months.
‘Miracle baby’ Mangku went to Adelaide for a check-up. The doctors are happy with his progress and will be scheduling a further operation in the next year or so when he is a bit older.
Zaetun Eni has completed her surgery and is now ready to enjoy her new life back in her Village. She was diagnosed with a right tessier cleft and in March 2008 she commenced her first round of surgery under Dr. Asmarajaya in Bali. Then in February 2009 Zaetun again commenced pre-operation treatment in Bali prior to flying to Adelaide for her final surgery at the Australian Cranio Facial Unit (ACFU) in the Women and Children’s Hospital in
Adelaide, South Australia. Zaetun returned to Bali at the end of April 2009 after her trip to Adelaide and these pictures show how amazing the result has been.
As well as the three Adelaide patients we also had Hajariah who suffers from the same condition as Sapirah and Erika, a 9 month old baby who was born with a unilateral cleft lip. Hajariah received her operation on 2nd June 2009 here in Bali at RSUP Sanglah in Denpasar and she has been scheduled to be examined by
Professor David during his visit in October. Erika has now completely finished her operation in RSUP Sanglah and is now about to step into a better life just like any other normal child.
