("I THINK IT WILL GET SMALLER, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH ALI AND HIS FATHER IN SOME DETAIL.") Ali's lifesaving
surgery happened half a world away from his home in Iraq. His desperate father pleaded for medical help from Americans there. He'd been denied care for years by the Iraqis.
("ONLY THOSE CLOSE TO THE REGIMES ARE THE ONE WHO GOT THE BENEFIT TO GET THAT MEDICAL HELP.")
Then Margaret Larson, working in Iraq with the charity Mercy Corps arranged to get Ali to Seattle. She found a medical team willling to donate care. She says time was running short for the boy.
("THE LESION WAS THREATENING TO CLOSE HIS AIRWAY, AND HE MIGHT WELL NOT HAVE LIVED BUT JUST A FEW MORE MONTHS.")
The placement of the tumor, and the danger it posed to Ali prevented doctors from taking all of it. They removed as much as they could, and left hope in its place.
