That's Dr. Ali Zomorodi on the left, checking in on 6-year old Nelson Akandwaholo, who just came out of surgery, and his mom, Diana Noggita. Just yesterday, a large and menacing abscess in Nelson's brain had left him totally floppy on one side - he wasn't even able to move his arm - and he was losing ground daily. Zomorodi's surgical team spent hours cleaning out the area and removing the pressure, and shortly after he went to recovery, he started sitting up and lifting his left arm - which you can see in the picture. The team was ecstatic. Some were in tears.
And so was mom, who happened to mention that her son's name means "fought for you."
