Jeff Gritchen: June 2008 Archives
Davik Teng. You've come all the way from a bamboo hut in rural village in Cambodia to Los Angeles to have life-altering surgery.... What are you going to do now?
"I'm going to Disneyland!"
Davik Teng's story began in the back country of Cambodia, but the next chapter will take place in Southern California, where surgeons will try to fix the young girl's damaged heart. Press-Telegram reporter Greg Mellen and photographer Jeff Gritchen have just returned from Cambodia with 9-year-old Davik and her mother, Sin Chhon, along with Peter Chhun, an NBC News cameraman, and Chantha Bob, better known as Bobby at work at Sophy's Restaurant in Long Beach, who have been leading the quest to bring her here for care at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
Watch the PT and this blog for continuing coverage of Davik's progress.
