In February, it was announced on Facebook that LWB won the Facebook challenge. With winning this award, we won $50,000, enough to help heal 10 heart babies. We thought you might like to see the babies and get an update on how they are all doing. Some are healed, some are in the hospital right now waiting for their turn, others are still waiting until just the right time. Everyone one of these children's lives will be changed forever with the money won through this contest.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this happen!
Ying from Henan is still too tiny for surgery but is scheduled to have her ToF repair done in August. What a peanut! As soon as her heart is repaired, she will then have cleft lip surgery as well.
Yun from Zhejiang received surgery for ToF in February and is doing GREAT. This is a photo from the hospital bed.
Xiang from Guangdong was SO sick, and his aunties from the orphanage really didn't think he would make it. The Facebook funds came just in time and he had surgery in March. He received surgery for ToF and PA and is doing so well that he is being submitted for adoption. He was very blue before and now is a lovely shade of pink!
Ya received surgery for ToF and has been matched with her forever family now. That is what makes us absolutely the happiest.
Yang from Henan will be having ToF surgery next week. We can't wait to see his blue lips turn to pink!
Yun from Anhui received surgery for VSD and pulmonary hypertension and is doing so great!
Yan from Anhui will have surgery for VSD and PA soon. She needs a very specialized surgery so she needs extra prayers.
Yu from Guangxi received successful surgery for PDA.
Lin from Anhui received surgery for both PA and VSD!
And Xiong from Henan received surgery for VSD, PDA, and pulmonary hypertension. Isn't that a GREAT smile?
