Whilst visiting some Melbourne Clubs last week telling them about the work ROMAC does on their behalf and thanking them for their donations I also gave an update on a 12 year old Vietnamese girl called Linh Da, who is currently undergoing very major surgery to cure a major facial disfigurement caused by a Vascular Tumour. I was requested to keep them updated, and though not in our actual District, I have pleasure in giving you the latest news which I received today. Linh Da has been much better this week as she slowly recovers from all the procedures she underwent in the first ten days of her operation/s. The fabulous staff at Monash Children’s  ICU have been gradually waking her up from her induced coma. Whilst she is dozy from her medications she is communicating with her mother and statf despite still being on a ventilator and unable to speak. The ICU medical staff think she maybe off the ventilator sometime this week and moved from ICU to a Medical ward at Monash Clayton. Where she is expected to stay for some weeks possibly months, whilst she recovers her strength before undergoing reconstruction surgery. District 9790 Clubs As previously advised, should you wish to hear more about the work of ROMAC then I would be more than willing to attend your Club meeting and talk to you.
