Jayden Havard, 8, is one of hundreds of children whose surgeries have been postponed due to COVID-19. He has been in pain for months while awaiting dental surgery.

It’s no comfort to the mother of an eight-year-old boy that the province is getting COVID-19-delayed surgeries back on track. I don’t want him to be in pain, said Marina Havard, whose son Jayden has autism and is non-verbal. He has been in pain for months as he waits for dental surgery that was delayed. He needs to be put under for X-rays and dental care in a hospital setting.
