This is 18 day old Roberta. She was born with such a severe clef lip that she had a very difficult time getting enough milk to stay in her mouth.
Seen with Roberta and her mother is Dra. Mariela Siguencia of Hospital del Rio who fashioned a special prosthetic for Roberta's mouth. Once she attains the necessary age of 3 months, Dr. Pablo Salamea Molina will perform the cleft lip repair at Hospital Del Rio.
As you can imagine, Roberta mother is thrilled that her baby will have this surgery.
As always, the hospital will give HKIE a significant discount!
A hearty thanks to all our supporters and Dra Mariela Elisa Siguencia for making this small miracle take place!
