The judge appointed Nadia as conservator and authorized her to consent to the hyster- ectomy on Abiba’s behalf. Abiba underwent her surgery, and Nadia and Rafi are extremely relieved that she no longer spends a week of each month in agonizing pain, and very grateful for Mintz Levin’s assis- tance. In appreciation, they presented the team with a beautiful, handcrafted Afghan table runner—now proudly displayed in Antony’s office. “Dealing with the legal system in addition to providing 24-hour care for a disabled child is very difficult,” Anne-Marie said. “It was very gratifying to know that every time we arranged for a doctor’s visit or handled one of the case’s many details, it made a tremendous difference in our clients’ lives.” “The doors of wisdom are never shut.” — Benjamin Franklin 35
