Helping Kids in Ecuador (HKIE) Child #222
This is 2 1/2 year of Juan Jose. While there is no specific diagnosis for him, his symptoms are similar to cerebral palsy.
Julio from Calidad Ortopedica in Cuenca fashioned a special chair for Juan Jose to keep his spine and hips in a correct position when he sits to eat, watch tv or have his therapy. Julio also fashioned special shoes and an arm brace to prevent foot and arm contractions.
...
We want to thank Carolina Donoso of Cinterandes for bringing this precious child and his needs to the attention of HKIE. And of course a thank you to all our supporters who make life changing gifts possible.
Isn't he such a cutie! Love his smile!

Update from Helping Kids in Ecuador (HKIE)
This is Vicki, (child # 218) a precious 5 year old who is happy as a clam. While she is still in the healing process, Vicki and her family love her new ear!. She was the first patient in Ecuador to have the Medpor method of ear creation for patients born with Microtia developed by Dr. John Reinisch of Beverly Hills, Ca
Dr Pablo spent two weeks last year at Dr Reinisch's clinic being trained on the proper techniques of this type of su...rgery.
Vicki told her surgeon, Dr Pablo Salamea Molina, that she never had any pain from the surgery. That is one of the benefits from this new method...plus only requiring one surgery rather than 3 or 4 to create the ear. Also, no or only one night stay in the hospital.
Thank you Dr. Reinisch and Dr. Pablo for changing this precious little girl's life in such a dramatic way!
