Medical Needs 2007

The provision of medical attention can be life-changing for an orphan. Hope's Heart strives to help orphans overcome physical challenges through surgeries, clubbed feet casting, blood transfusions, physical therapy, and other procedures that will correct a physical challenge or improve their quality of life. 

Projects

Pneumonia Treatment

December 2007- When a tiny baby contracted pneumonia funding provided for the hospital treatment.  We are trusting for a quick and full recovery for him.

January 2008 UPDATE- This little one has been released from the hospital and is reported to be feeding well.



Cleft Surgery

December 2007- Thanks to contributions from two wonderful Hope's Heart donors with big hearts and generous giving, Gabriel will have cleft lip surgery in 2008.  This will be a huge blessing to this precious little girl, and establish a brighter future for her.







Blood Transfusions

December 2007-
Although we cannot be there to comfort her, we can provide the funding for some of the treatments [regular blood transfusions] Hui needs.  We pray for her strength and healing.

Club Foot Casting and Foster Care

December 2007- Months of casting treatments under the watchful eye of foster parents will help correct Xuan's clubbed feet, as well as give him opportunity to devoted, individual  foster care.  We have seen this treatment procedure work with amazing results in other children we have funded, and we are expectant of the same results for little Xuan.  One day he will be up...walking and then running.




Heart Surgery

Hearing Aids

December 2007- Alaina will benefit greatly from hearing aids to open a new world to her.  Her hearing has improved, and she is so happy. 



Cleft Lip Surgery

November 2007-
A cleft surgery not only aids in eating, speech, hearing and growth/development, but for an orphan it gives them hope for adoption.  We are pleased to sponsor Na's upcoming cleft lip surgery.  She will benefit in each of these realms.  As soon as hospital and transportation arrangements can be made, she will receive her surgery.



Asthma Treatments


October 2007
-  Breathing has been much easier after Li received treatment to correct the effects of asthma.  The asthma is now under control and she will continue to be monitored.  
 




Blessed with Surgeries

October 2007-  The number of babies/children in need of cleft lip/palate repair continues to grow.  For each surgery we are able to fund, another little boy or girl is given the chance to survive and thrive.  Later this month two more little girls,Connie and Sara, will receive life changing cleft lip surgeries.  Watch for news of completion of their surgeries in just a few weeks.  Funding for Connie's surgery was raised by a special 13 year old.  See Lillie's Heart of Gold.

Immunizations

July 2007- Anyone with children realizes the expense that mounts with all the immunizations required to provide protection to baby's health.  We are honored to fund the cost of immunizations for three babies.  These shots will help to shield them from health dangers.



Physical Therapy For Two
