One of the greatest blessings of being a nurse is the opportunity to participate in the art of healing. I see miracles every day, and I am always touched by stories of children who are overcoming all odds with the help of modern medical science.
I saw this story recently on CNN. Freddy Turihuano is a 15-year-old from the countryside in Bolivia who was born with a condition that prevented him from being able to walk. Thanks to an orthopedic surgeon, generous people who donated time and money, and Freddy's courageous spirit, he is now accomplishing what some thought was impossible. And Freddy's response? He hopes to grow up to be a soccer player . . . or a doctor.
