Little Heart Keeps Beating…
Here’s another update from Mary about Edwin. Again, he’s the little boy who is one of several that benefited from the more than $1,000 raised by my friends, my family and myself. Edwin recently received heart surgery in Honduras and a portion of our donation helped provide his lodging and transportation.
Edwin is doing great. We took him to the doctor yesterday. He did another echo cardiogram and it was very good. The doctor was very pleased with the results of the surgery. He has a problem with one of his eyes so the doctor gave me the name of a specialist. We could go through the public hospital but that could take months and several trips. It is only L600 for the office visit so by the time we pay several bus trips to the public hospital, it is actually cheaper to pay one trip plus the office visit. I’m not sure what the problem is and neither is Dr. Fonseca. he is a heart specialist, not eyes:) He said that the doctors noticed one of his eyes being “darker” than usual.
