LONG BEACH - Doctors have postponed the surgery date for a Cambodian girl brought to the United States by a Long Beach nonprofit for a life-altering heart procedure.
The open-heart surgery, scheduled for Thursday was reset for Monday at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. The date was rescheduled due to a conflict in one doctor's schedule.
Davik, a 9-year-old from a remote village in Cambodia, suffers from a heart defect known as a ventricular septal defect, or a hole in her heart.
Hearts Without Boundaries, a small Long Beach nonprofit, paid to bring Davik and her mother to the U.S. for the surgery. Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is donating its facilities, staff and cardiac surgery team.
