Pictured is child 384, 5 year old Maykol, who had his eye removed several years ago due to cancer. It was necessary to wait until he was through with all his chemo before he could recieve a prosthetic eye. Due to the waiting period between the eye removal and now, his eye socket needed surgery with Dra Mariela Siguencia to prepare him for his prosthethic eye.
Maykol was referred to HKIE and Dra Siguencia by the Solca Cancer Hospital in Cuenca.
Also, this week, little Carlitos had his 6th surgical procedure on his scars. What a brave little boy. All six surgeries were performed by Dr Pablo.
Today, our little cutie Jandry, was to have his surgery on the other side for his webbed hands and feet. (The results from the first surgery are so incredible you cannot tell anything was done.)
Unfortunately his hemoglobin count was too low; this afternoon he will see our pediatrician Dr Niera at Hospital del Rio. Jandry will be provided with supplements and return in a month or two for some more blood work.
Our last child is young Roberto who recieved his prosthetic eye 2 years ago and saw Dra Mariela the other day for a check up. He is doing great!
All these children have a better future thanks to our supporters and our doctors! Thanks!
