Rosita is finished with the first operation. Stitches were taken out today and everything is fine. No appointment until 30th of November. She needs special food and attention but for the rest she is fine. Her mother wants to return to Juliaca for 3 weeks and return for the 30th. No clue how she is going to find work while caring for her daughter. She was thinking of going back to the mine and I have told her in no uncertain words that working at La Rinconada would probably kill Rosita. We are talking about going to stay at 5400meters in one of the most coldest and polluted areas of the world. Hopefully she will listen.
Rosita will probably have her next operation when she is between 2 and 3 years. Then they will close the palate.
