Ritu Survived Surgery
20-year old Ritu was on the verge of death when she was brought to the hospital and abandoned there. A month ago she had an induced abortion, which got infected leading to a perforated uterus. Ritu was an orphan and had been sold to a dance troupe by her uncle. The hospital decided to conduct the surgery to save her life. Ritu survived the surgery and despite a very stormy post-operative period she regained her health. She spent almost two months in the hospital, during which period the nursing staff befriended her and met her needs – she was fed, clothed and even entertained by them! Over time she was transformed from a surly, difficult person, to a smiling, enthusiastic girl, eager to help out in the ward in small ways. At the time of discharge, she was equipped with a healed body and soul, ready to face the challenges ahead of her in the strength of the Lord.
