Today, Hector traveled about two hours with five babies and their families. Previously, they had cleft lip and palate surgeries with us in Montellano. It is something that we started a few years ago and as to date, we have taken about fifty-one babies.
It was nice to see them today and to be reminded of God's blessings. Babies or adults can have physical illnesses but God has blessed man with the ability to sometimes make changes. Without surgery, these children would have been hid from society and not have been given a chance at life. People have generously donated time, travel and funding to make these changes happen and I am so thankful to every one.
This was Jaime in August 2013 before his lip and palate repair. His surgery was sponsored by Danny from Morganton.
This is Jaime now, at six years old!! What a handsome young boy!
Another child that visited us today was Jose Luis. When we first met Jose, his mother felt he was sick and underweight since he had seen a dog when he was only three days old.
This is Jose today, at six years old. What a change and difference! Thank you Don and Jessie, who sponsored his palate surgery.
Today, we also saw Carlos Enrique. When we met him, he was only five months old.
Today, Carlos is five years old and doing great! His mother continues to be very thankful!
Danny also sponsored Carlos' surgery.
Then we also had Randy Edilson, who was eleven months when he had his lip repaired.
Now, Randy is five years old and doing well.
Then the last child that we saw was Eleazor. Here he is at seven months old.
Eleazor now is four years old and dong very well. He is very out going and playful!
I was pleased with how well each child has grown and how well they are doing. They seem very content and did not cry or scream when I examined them.
Many thanks for those that donate their time and travel with the surgical teams. Also, many thinks to those who support the surgeries. A child and their family will always remember the love and support that you have shown! And as always, to God be the glory!
