Saving Lives Around the World Guatemalan boy comes to SSM Cardinal Glennon for lifesaving surgery
“Where is the ball?”asked 5-year-old
Angel Caac Cal when he awoke in the surgical recovery room. That is a typical question from a little boy, but Angel was not referring to sporting goods.
What Angel inquired about was the 13-pound tumor removed from his neck by surgeons at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. Thanks to the generosity of several St. Louis organizations and their countless contributors, Angel had come to St. Louis from Guatemala to seek treatment for the mass, which was larger than his head.
