Little 5 year old Zara has Down Syndrome, but also has very bad vision, creating further problems for her. We got her to Exilaser who neede to sedate her to do a thorough eye exam. After the exam Dra. Naty Torres determined that fortunately Zara only neede a pair of glasses to help her along her learning path. Jim and Jennifer Cory assisted HKIE on this appointment and said Zara is a real cutie.
Vicky is a 13 year old who has worsening vision from doing all her schoolwork on the computer. Vicky needed a completely new prescription and drops to ease her eyestrain. She also has very bad foot problems and needed a new pair of orthotics for her shoes as she is growing so much!
Last is a photo of Valentina and Dr. Diego Maldonado. Valentina had her adenoid surgery 10 days ago and a follow up this week. She is, at last, able to sleep through the night (which she had not done before due to severe breathing problems). According to Dr. Diego she will also have a growth spurt with her body receiving enough oxygen.!
All three children can now look forward to leading normal lives thanks to our donors and doctors.
