A New Possibility for Yanie's Hip Surgery

The last time I posted about Yanie Dominique's broken hip we had heard back from Dr. Nelson.  He recognized that she needed a total hip replacement.  He has referred us to another orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Mehne.  We are in contact with him now and will be working toward getting Yanie to the Dominican Republic for surgery in late October.  There are many, many things to arrange if that is going to happen including a passport for her and her translator.  Dr. Mehne is donating his time and the prosthesis, but there will be other costs including operating room, anesthesia, nurses, meds, housing and meals for the translator as well as transportation to and from the DR.  If we can't get all of this together in time, then we'll make every effort to arrange it for January.
