Little Y was born prematurely and with a heart defect. He came to our medical home in 2023 as a tiny newborn and received the heart surgery he so desperately needed.
He then spent nearly a year recovering and growing stronger before he returned to his province.
We knew that he would need an additional surgery once he was a little older and made it clear to his orphanage that we would be happy to help when the time came.
Little Y’s orphanage reached out to us earlier this year about arranging his next surgery, and we were delighted to have him come back.
His surgery went smoothly last month and he discharged back to our home to complete his recovery.
We’ve been told that he is healthy now and will not need any additional surgeries… we’re happy about that, but it’s bittersweet knowing that once he leaves this time, we probably won’t have a chance to see him again. At least we had the chance to celebrate his second birthday together!
We hope and pray that someday little Y will someday be able to join a family of his own. Until that can happen, we are so thankful that we could help provide him with lifesaving medical care and a loving, nurturing environment so that he can grow physically and emotionally strong and healthy.
