Update on Diego

Some of you will remember Diego. He is a baby that Jane, from Evelyn's Baskets of Love and Life has helped and also the Morganton Church of Christ. This was a photo of Diego before his first surgery last year. He was only a few months old in this photo. He was born with a double cleft lip and palate.

This photo was in August 2008, one week after his first surgery. He had some infection around the surgical site but was doing well.

Diego's second surgery was done Sunday afternoon. Some of us had gone to Chicacao for iecream and when we returned, his parents were pacing in the driveway. We stopped and answered their questions and prayed with them..........knowing that Diego has great doctors and nurses doing the surgery and that God was with them.

The surgery went well and this photo was taken 15 minutes after the surgery in the recovery area.

Diego is full of energy and ready to play again! This photo was taken Tuesday afternoon.

Diego and his parents will return home on Wednesday afternoon. The parents have been helping clean the surgical site to help prevent infection. He will be seen next week in Lemoa of a follow-up consult.
