Joseph Accepted for Heart Surgery--April 2012
On April 26, 2012, we received more good news.
Haitian Hearts patient Joseph was accepted by CHADASHA for heart surgery.
I examined Joseph for the first time in February 2012 in the pediatric clinic in Soleil.
Joseph has congestive heart failure and constant respiratory tract infections due to a hole in his heart (ventricular septal defect).
In clinic this week Joseph weighed 19 pounds and is now 23 months old. He and his mom live in a tent in Port-au-Prince.
I continued him on his furosemide and we started work on his passport.
