Yesterday 19 year old Adrian had his lip surgery. As you can see he will be a very happy camper when he heals and will no longer be self conscious of how he looks.
Today Dr. Pablo performed nose surgery on 16 year old Mayte who had a deviated septum, often causing her severe headaches that preented her from going to school.
Also today Dra. Mariela Siguencia finished a special prosthetic to fit over the cleft lip and palate of 15 day old Angel. This prosthetic will enable him to eat and breathe properly until he reaches the age of three months, at which point Dr. Pablo will peform cleft lip surgey.
All the families are excited to have their children's lives changed, thanks to the supporters of HKIE, Dr. Pablo Salamea Molina, and Dra. Mariela Siguencia who both donated their time and skills, and to Hospital del Rio for providing HKIE with significant discounts.
