Child #269

This is 14 year old Juan David from the coast. He was born without the lower half of his right leg. He had a prosthetic leg when he was about four but obviously had outgrown it ....so he has been without a prosthetic leg for several years.
We were notified by Protesis Imbabura in Ibarra that the family was praying he could receive a new prosthetic leg which they could not afford. So thanks to our relationship with Protesis Imbabura and the generosity of our donors, Juan David will now be walking and running alongside his friends.
SPECIAL NOTE...We want to thank our Salinas board member, Luis Galarza, for coordinating all of our patients from the coast in a such a professional and timely manner. Luis is simply the best!

Child #268

This is 6 year old Daniela from El Valle who was born with a deformed right forearm and hand. She is a student at the CETAP-LUCY School.
Shown with Drs Pablo Javier Salamea Molina and Gustavo Ochoa who are discussing options. Today she had a complete arm xray and will follow up with Dr, Ochoa next Monday.
Daniela has only one bone in her forearm and it is "soft". After reviewing the xray, Dr Ochoa may be able to put a plate or rod in to give the forearm strength. Then Dr. Pablo will be able to unweb a finger or two to enable her greater mobility in her arm and fingers. We are praying for the best possible outcome to give this precious child a more normal life.

Pictured is Amanda with her new glasses. Amanda has been a work in progress with HKIE and Dr Pablo Javier Salamea Molina. She has had palate surgery, orthodontic surgery, braces and glasses. All of this has so improved her attitude at school and of course her self esteem.
Mikyl had a growth on his ear that was continuing to worsen. Dr Pablo is shown with him making his surgical markings. Mikyl was very nervous about the whole procedure, but the doctors and nurses at Hospital del Rio put him at ease.
AS ALWAYS, Dr Pablo waived his surgical fees and the hospital gave HKIE a substantial discount on the hospital costs making these surgeries very affordable for HKIE and our donors!
All of our families are so thankful to the doctors, clinics and hospitals who make this possible...but most especially to all the HKIE supporters for helping their children, families and communities

This is 3 month old Liam from Manabi, born with a cleft lip. Soon after his birth the family was in Salinas and some kind soul gave the family the contact info for HKIE.
​
Dr. Pablo Javier Salamea Molina performed the surgery this past week at Hospital Del Rio. As you can see, this is one happy baby that will grow up like all other kids.
Mom, dad, and HKIE want to thank all our supporters for making this happen.
