La boursouflure a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 se d\u00e9velopper et a fini par devenir une tumeur osseuse sur sa joue droite, probablement caus\u00e9e par une infection.

En l&rsquo;espace de quelques ann\u00e9es seulement, les effets \u00e9taient d\u00e9j\u00e0 ancr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Le Dr Didier-David Malis, chirurgien maxillo-facial b\u00e9n\u00e9vole suisse qui allait finalement op\u00e9rer la tumeur b\u00e9nigne de Lucy sur le <em>Global Mercy<\/em>\u2122, le navire-h\u00f4pital de Mercy Ships, l&rsquo;a d\u00e9crite comme <em>\u00ab\u00a0une tumeur importante et destructrice, affectant ses os et ses tissus mous. Il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;une tumeur agressive, qui pourrait modifier son apparence d&rsquo;un point de vue fonctionnel et visuel, ce qui aurait un impact sur ses relations avec les autres et provoquerait un dysfonctionnement au niveau de la d\u00e9glutition et de l&rsquo;\u00e9locution. La tumeur a \u00e9galement affect\u00e9 l&rsquo;\u0153il en l&rsquo;\u00e9loignant de son lit\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Le Dr Malis a ajout\u00e9 qu&rsquo;en l&rsquo;absence d&rsquo;intervention chirurgicale, la tumeur aurait continu\u00e9 \u00e0 se d\u00e9velopper au point de provoquer des obstructions des voies respiratoires et, en fin de compte, la mort par suffocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Selon une publication de la Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de m\u00e9decine des \u00c9tats-Unis, le pays d&rsquo;origine de Lucy, la Sierra Leone, est confront\u00e9 \u00e0 une grave p\u00e9nurie de soins bucco-dentaires et d&rsquo;enseignement de la sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9 dentaire. L&rsquo;\u00e9tat de Lucy s&rsquo;est entre autres aggrav\u00e9 en raison d&rsquo;un manque de soins m\u00e9dicaux et de formation appropri\u00e9s. Heureusement, le gouvernement de la Sierra Leone s&rsquo;efforce de renforcer son syst\u00e8me de soins chirurgicaux et dentaires par le biais de partenariats strat\u00e9giques avec des organisations comme Mercy Ships, qui se concentrent sur l&rsquo;enseignement, la formation et la promotion de la sant\u00e9 long terme.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15135\" src=\"https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-1030x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-1030x686.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/mercyships.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SLF230920_LUCY_SLF08061_BEFORE_EB002_HI-MID.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>La r\u00e9silience face \u00e0 la douleur<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malgr\u00e9 sa personnalit\u00e9 brillante et chaleureuse, Lucy s&rsquo;est renferm\u00e9e.

l&rsquo;implication de l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles ont aid\u00e9 Lucy \u00e0 se r\u00e9tablir rapidement. Les infirmi\u00e8res ont remarqu\u00e9 sa forte personnalit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0C&rsquo;est la premi\u00e8re personne qui m&rsquo;a fait danser au travail, car lorsqu&rsquo;elle voulait qu&rsquo;on fasse quelque chose, on le faisait !\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>, t\u00e9moigne Jeri Harper, infirmi\u00e8re p\u00e9diatrique. <em>\u00ab\u00a0Elle est gentille avec les autres.

Stup\u00e9fait par sa transformation, son oncle n&rsquo;a pu s&#8217;emp\u00eacher de s&rsquo;exclamer : <em>\u00ab\u00a0Lucy ! Lucy ! C&rsquo;est bien toi ?\u00a0\u00bb <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>\u00ab\u00a0Elle est redevenue comme avant !

L&rsquo;\u00e9cole croit en la philosophie de l&rsquo;Ubuntu : <em>\u00ab\u00a0Je suis parce que nous sommes\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>, et ses camarades de classe n<em>&lsquo;<\/em>h\u00e9sitent pas \u00e0 lui donner un coup de main<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">En peu de temps, Lucy a repris confiance en elle. <em>\u00ab\u00a0Je ne me sentais pas bien quand j&rsquo;avais cette masse sur le visage, j&rsquo;avais honte parce que j&rsquo;\u00e9tais la seule \u00e0 avoir un tel visage.

Je veux devenir m\u00e9decin plus tard parce que je veux aider les gens quand ils sont malades\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>.
