Franklin goes home to Guatemala


Franklin is preparing to return to Guatemala, following successful surgery to repair a crush injury to his foot. Shriners Hospital in Lexington has donated two surgeries for this COTA patient. Skila and Jarrod from Lexington, KY found time in their busy schedule (while parenting three other boys!) to host Franklin for his visits to the U.S.


Franklin's mother is a nurse in Guatemala, and she never gave up on her attempt at finding surgical repair for her child. We have no doubt that Franklin will make the world a better place in the future.
