This month’s featured child is
little Hou. Hou came to the baby home last year in early May as a one
month old baby. This little boy has a lot going on. He was born with
multiple problems, including a cleft, anal atresia, amniotic banding and
cardiac issues. Since he needs special care and treatment for his
conditions, his orphanage contacted us to see if we could provide this care for
him. Of course, we said we would!
At his orphanage, Hou had
received a surgery to make a temporary opening for his anus atresia condition.
Anus atresia, is a birth defect where the anus is either not present or
is in the wrong place. Although little Hou has multiple problems, he is
one happy little boy!
About 3 months after his arrival
at the baby home, Hou started a series of surgeries! He first went to the
hospital to get a lip repair surgery. He came back to the baby home
looking like a completely different boy!
A while later, Hou then went back
to the hospital to receive his anus colostomy surgery. He also received
reconstructive surgery on his feet for his amniotic banding and clubbed feet.
After all the surgeries, Hou has
come a long way from when he first arrived at the baby home. He now no longer
needs special care. And so, he will soon be transitioning to another
organization that provides foster care. We hope that his adoption
paperwork gets completed quickly so he can move into his forever family soon.
