Surgery presents opportunities ...
shorn pose 1
Even though Sarah did not outwardly
display as many of the rhararteristics of
Down's Syndrome as some with the
condition, she still had the slanted eyes, fiat
profile and over sued tongue.
After collecting ail the data available on
the subject, which did not amount to much
because it is such a new Heid, they contorted
Dr, Ian Munro at the Hospital tot Sick
Children in Toronto and met with him fat a
consultation last September. lit. Munro is
the only doctor in Canada who performs the
surgery, to Lortaine's knowledge,
Atter he examined Sarah and agreed to do
the surgery, appointments were made
between the pmttans and a numbet o1
professionals including psychologists and
social workers to help the young parents
understand the surgery and what to eapet`t
from it, stressing it would not change
Sarah's trental ability,
The 1 octans decided to put their trust in
Dr, Munro and the surgery wag scheduled
early last lyecefbet,
That week was a long one, says Lorraine,
because even though she was "guardedly
optimistic" about the surgery, she hoped
they weren't making a big mistake. Mends
and family rernained unconvinced it was the
right thing to do.
Lorraine admits when she first saw het
bruised child in the recovery roam after
surgery she couldn't help asking herself,
"My Dud, what have we done to het?"
Children's bodies heal quickly and soon
Sarah was up and atound. Her rib rage was
sore where Dr, Munro removed rib cartilage
to tom her new mote prominent, cheek
bones and a bridge for her nose. Het tongue
was made smaller, surgically to enable het
to speak and breathe more easily and it was
tender too. She also had het eyes altered to
#oke away their oriental slant,
In all, she spent one night in hospital
before she was allowed to return home:
Today, almost a year Wet, Sarah is aft
energetic, inquisitive elementary student
who shows no outward sign of any ttaumtt
produced by the surgery. And het patents
ate vett' pleased with the favorable change
in their child's appeatante and speech.
Sarah has a great friend in Dt. Munro now
too: Spire the procedure is so new, he needs
to study het and chart het progress to prove
to the medical procession and to the
government the surgery is beneficial,
Sarah's surgety was partially raweted by
OHIP with the Ixotttons paying 4)-1OO out of
their own pocket. According to an official at
the Landon office, the amount of OH11P
coverage provided differs from case to cage,
depending upon the kind of procedures
involved.
Lorraine sa s othet +eopie have rottitnetit-
ed on the range in Sarah's appearance
which is heartening, however there will
always be those who ate skeptical of the
surgery.
Hut it your .churl had a cleft palate of
needed braces, wouldn't you do evetything
you could for that thild7 she argues.
Sarah's lite will be difficult enough, says
het mothet, but it the surgery makes it any
easier, it will be mote than worthwhile.
Things look brighter fot Satoh and othet
Dawn's Syndrome children than they did
even id years ago. Otte psychologist told the
ho*tons they ate the "pioneering patents",
who ate sending their child out into the
rotttmunity and into the sehaol system.
Hut for now, Sarah is a happy little girl
.who loves life and her recent surgery has
opened new opportunitiits itt het life. As her
mother puts it: ''She's naw Sarah first and a
Down's child second."
