Judeline May Get Surgery!

[singlepic id=58 w=320 h=240 float=left]Little two and a half year old Judeline came to see us in Nan Doti with her mother.  She has a congenital deformity of the left hand, right foot and leg.  She's a real cutie who managed to run around very well despite the fact that her right foot faces backwards.    Bob Myers and Mark Bigda evaluated her and determined that it appears she actually has all of the finger and toe bones, and that her leg is relatively normal from just below the knee.  We came back from Haiti with the intention of trying to find a surgeon who would do corrective surgery. Yesterday I emailed a pediatric orthopedic surgeon from CURE International.  This morning we got an email back saying that she could get surgery in two weeks in Carrefour!!  Dr. Nelson saw her photos and said she probably has "constriction band syndrome" and it's likely they can 'improve the situation significantly!"  Wow!  God is good! There's a lot of logistics to work out before then, but we'll all work hard to try to make it happen.  Amoce is going to be a busy guy!
