 Two Mongolian children will
return from the United States next week after receiving life-saving
surgery.
Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian
international relief organization, paid for ten-year-old Bayandalai
Altangerel and six-year-old Lkhagvasuren Gankhuyag to travel with family
members from Mongolia to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg,
Florida.
Bayandalai suffered from a
heart condition which caused him to stop breathing when he slept. Doctors
performed surgery to correct the condition on Friday.
Lkhagvasuren had surgery to
correct a problem she had with oxygen flowing through her body. The
condition, called Tetralogy of Fallot, caused her fingernails and lips
to turn blue whenever she exerted herself or became tired.
In both cases, the children’s
conditions were considered life threatening.
This past Wednesday night,
100 people came to the First Baptist Church in St. Petersburg for a
dinner in honor of Bayandalai.
The children and their families
stayed with host families in the area.
Samaritan’s Purse has brought
some 400 children to North America in past years for medical care they
would not have received in their own country.
