Bernards: Familiar Faces

Follow-up on the difficult facial tumor cases

It’s two months after their tumor resections and facial reconstructions. Most of the swelling is gone now. Abebe has a little bit of a facial nerve palsy (the nerve was stretched either during surgery or with the swelling post-op). This is improving, however, and he is expected to have a symmetric smile in no time. Kasahun has a little extra skin from where he lost that big tumor. That can be fixed easily. We praise God for the good outcomes of these difficult cases. So many things could have gone wrong during the surgeries and their post-operative course.
